To offer every adult the inspiration, knowledge, and skills to self-regulate and create healthy relationships that positively impact generations.
Conscious Discipline around the world
Our story began with a simple “There has got to be a better way” moment.
In the mid-1990s, Dr. Becky Bailey watched caring teachers default to punishment when students struggled, and saw that behavior wasn’t the problem, it was the signal.
Instead of accepting “control,” she asked a different question:
What if discipline could teach self-regulation and problem solving?
That question led her into brain-based study and a new way of working with adults and children. In 1996, with co-founder Kate O’Neil, she launched what became Conscious Discipline; a practical framework that starts with the adult, builds connection, and turns everyday upsets into learning opportunities.
From those humble beginnings, Conscious Discipline has grown into a global movement. What started as one person’s vision is now practiced by educators and families in schools, homes, and centers around the world.
Over the last 25+ years, Dr. Bailey’s program has been implemented in thousands of classrooms and communities, touching the lives of millions.
From one classroom to 101 countries, Conscious Discipline’s story is one of heartfelt dedication and exponential growth. We remain committed to changing lives one connection at a time, keeping alive the pioneering spirit that Becky ignited back in 1996.
Conscious Discipline isn’t a collection of tricks, it’s a cohesive model grounded in four research-backed foundations that work together to shift behavior through connection and adult leadership.
Conscious Discipline is a multi-disciplinary, neurodevelopmental approach based on three brain-body states that drive behavior.
The key to safety is a conscious, mindful adult.
Conscious Discipline’s winning combination of an adults-first, Brain Smart, connection-driven approach cultivates a rich climate and culture were everyone thrives.
The Only Skills You’ll Need
The Seven Skills of Discipline are the only skills needed to transform everyday discipline issues into teaching moments.
