Developing Relationship-Based Competencies with Conscious Discipline

Our high-engagement online format provides a practical, hands-on learning experience. View with a partner or group for the best experience and to apply strategies together. Content is broken into three main areas of focus, each with multiple learning modules that introduce and contextualize life-changing information and practical learnings:

Learn How to Create Optimal Stimulation for Infants and Toddlers

This e-Learning experience addresses the needs of the adult first, and then addresses the needs of the child during the critical early years of development. The ability to recognize and manage both mild and toxic stress is an adult prerequisite for equipping the next generation to do the same. Using neuroscience, child development, evidence-based strategies and a trauma-informed approach, this essential content will equip you with best practices and transform how we see ourselves, our relationships and our children. The first three years of life are a period of incredible brain growth. The way we respond to the needs of infants and toddlers will help or inhibit them from forming healthy life patterns.
