Conscious Discipline @ Colegio

The greatest gifts we can give our children are unconditional LOVE and the social-emotional skills to handle whatever comes their way. ​Conscious Discipline is aligned to Colegio's philosophy of mindfulness. Like mindfulness, Conscious Discipline provides strategies and tools to develop skills that allow children, and adults, to understand the relationship between emotions and actions. Adults practice regulating their emotions, voices and behaviors to teach students how to be responsible for their emotions and behavior.

This is much more than a discipline program, this is a practice that allows the students to feel safe and loved so that they can focus on learning and cultivating positive relationships with self and others. 

Colegio Petite Elementary School provides the opportunity for students to develop their behavioral skills for successful learners: 

• Actively Listening
• Actively Participating
• Demonstrating appropriate Working Habits
• Taking responsibility for self 
• Demonstrating self-control
• Following classroom and school rules
• Interacting appropriately with peers
• Being Courteous and respectful of others and others' property

Traditional Discipline vs. Conscious Discipline

Conscious Discipline provides a framework for teachers to use natural consequences for students instead of punishment. This allows the students brain to develop the problem solving skills that students will use to self-regulate their behavior.

Conscious Discipline is for Teachers, Students and Parents

Colegio engages all in developing positive relationships. Traditionally, social-emotional skills are taught in preschool. Elementary teachers and students have not developed successful strategies and skills to teach students how to build relationships or how to handle difficult situations. Conscious Discipline has decades of research on the advantages for teachers, students and families. 

Research shows that Conscious Discipline:

• Improves the social and emotional skills of students
• Improves the social and emotional skills of teachers
• Increases student academic readiness
• Increases student academic achievement
• Improves the quality of student-teacher interactions
• Improves school climate
• Decreases aggression in  children
• Decreases impulsivity and hyperactivity in “difficult” students

Children exposed to Conscious Discipline have skills to handle rivalry, bullying, schedules, and more! Families get MORE LOVE @ Colegio with Conscious Discipline!
