Join us for one or both mornings of Conscious Discipline.

Conscious Discipline: Reaching and Teaching Children with Trauma
Saturday, November 10, 2018
Trauma frequently occurs within the context of a relationship. Healing a trauma also occurs within the context of a healthy relationship. Conscious Discipline has proven strategies to build relationships with relationship resistant children. The interventions are not intended to replace therapeutic treatment; however, they will enhance children’s healing processes and help them become more likely to learn in your classroom. After you build a connection with a child exposed to trauma, you can begin implementing specific interventions that will lay the groundwork for a lifetime of resilience.

"S/he hit me first": Dealing with personal loss and healing without feeling the need to get even
Saturday, February 23, 2019
Turn daily conflicts with children and between children (hitting, tattling, name calling) into opportunities to teach social and emotional skills. Teachers and caregivers report encountering more and more children with lowered abilities to self-regulate, tolerate frustration and interact well with others. The amount of aggression ending in retaliation and revenge in many programs and homes is on the rise, both in quantity and intensity. This workshop will explore the relationship between personal loss and aggression/violence/revenge in the classroom and home, as well as offer proactive solutions for teachers and parents to implement immediately.
