Content: This is a place to practice getting outside of the big emotions, and it’s a space that you can encourage your child to visit when they feel sad, angry, or frustrated. What are some Conscious Discipline strategies that parents can try right away? Model the behavior you would like to see by displaying self-control during difficult moments and when you feel triggered by children’s behavior. Take the time to understand the developmental stage that your child is in so you can consider how things feel from her perspective. Tell children what they should do in a clear way rather than focusing on what they should not do. ( For example, refrain from giving directions that start with Don’t, Stop, or No.) When children are acting bossy or unkind to others, always give your attention to the victim first to empower them to learn how to deal with the situation. Then turn to the child who is acting unkindly and help her practice clear limits and how to communicate in a more helpful way. When children appear to not be listening to you, instead of yelling at them to get their attention, go to them instead and make eye contact to form a connection. By helping your child develop social-emotional skills, you are equipping them with tools that can help them thrive and learn.
