Then she and Dr. Bailey discuss concrete ways children can focus on being of service to others.

Candid Conversations provide a relatable, practical window into the world of Conscious Discipline. Join Dr. Bailey and her guests as they explore personal challenges, successes and ways to use Conscious Discipline in everyday life.

Hosted by Conscious Discipline Certified Instructor Jill Molli, this episode of Candid Conversations highlights how we can shift from an internal message of shame to an internal message of service. Instead of dwelling on what we don’t accomplish each day, we should practice noticing the ways we are of service to those around us. Listen in to learn how to teach this vital practice to children, including three activities you can try in your home today.
