We Started our Lessons on Feeling Buddies This Week!
At Liberty Early Childhood Center, our staff embraces the philosophy of Conscious Discipline by Dr. Becky Bailey. Conscious Discipline is a vehicle to help us promote positive social emotional development. Conscious Discipline is a philosophy that helps teach children missing skills that are necessary to be able to manage upset appropriately and negotiate the social world around them. This would include helping children to understand their emotions so that they are able to consciously make choices regarding how they react in situations. We are using the Feeling Buddies Toolkit to promote learning these skills. This week we met four buddies--Happy, Sad, Scared, and Angry. You might want to ask your child about the Feeling Buddies that he/she met. For more information on Conscious Discipline, please refer to the parent section at www.consciousdiscipline.com.
Conscious Discipline Includes I Love You Rituals
Twinkle, twinkle, little star (wiggle fingers together with your child's),
What a wonderful child you are (pat each other's shoulders).
With bright eyes (point to each other's eyes) and nice round cheeks (touch each other's cheeks),
A talented person from head (touch each other's heads) to feet (touch each other's feet).
Twinkle, twinkle, little star (wiggle fingers together with your child's),
What a wonderful child you are (give each other a hug)!
One little caring connection like this can help you accomplish these four things:
1. Optimize your child's brain for success
2. Increase learning potential through touch
3. Create loving rituals that hold people together even during the roughest times
4. Strengthen the bond between adults and children
