Conscious Discipline Corner
Conscious Discipline Group Connection Huge shout out to our Parent Educators (from left to right): Jackie Dorweiler, Kari Wilcox, and Kristin Forbes for their amazing IN-PERSON presentation on Conscious Discipline. Another one is coming in December, so be on the lookout for details or ask your Parent Educator! | The Power of Attention Last month we discussed The Power of Perception. This month's focus is The Power of Attention: What you focus on, you get more of. "Don't jump on the couch" turns into "Couches are for sitting. You can sit here or there, you choose." | Power of Attention Commitment Read over this commitment and this month challenge yourself to follow the commitment using the Power of Attention. Reflect on what worked and what you need more practice with. Talk with your Parent Educator for more ideas! |
