Traditional discipline methods often leave families feeling frustrated and disconnected. Conscious Discipline offers a new path: one built on connection, safety, and problem-solving.
By helping parents and caregivers regulate their own emotions first, this approach creates calmer homes, stronger relationships, and more resilient children. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress, one perspective shift at a time.
Focus on self-control and confidence-building for both parent and child with strategies backed by science.
Give children the lifelong gifts of emotional well-being and self-regulation with the revolutionary Feeling Buddies system.
Increase cooperation, communication and connection family-wide on your own time, at your own pace.

Conscious Discipline is an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach. It is recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP), and received high ratings in 8 of 10 categories in a Harvard analysis of the nation’s top 25 social-emotional learning programs. The Harvard study’s authors say, “Conscious Discipline provides an array of behavior management strategies and classroom structures that teachers can use to turn everyday situations into learning opportunities.”
Our core methodology is based on four essential components that are scientifically and practically designed for success:
The Conscious Discipline Brain State Model recognizes three basic brain / body / mind states likely to produce certain behaviors. Intentional, state- specific responses enable access to advanced skills.
The seven powers create a shift in the way adults see conflict so we can maintain composure and consciously respond to difficult situations. Adults’ ability to self-regulate is the precursor to teaching children social-emotional skills.
The School Family increases connections between adults and children at all levels, ensuring optimal development for all. A School Family culture is built through consistent modeling of routines, rituals and structures.
These seven skills transform everyday discipline issues into teachable moments, equipping children with the social-emotional and communication skills needed to manage themselves, resolve conflict and develop healthy behavior.
