Young children depend on adults to lend meaning to their everyday experiences. The way we respond to their joys, upsets, challenges and daily interactions lays a blueprint for their beliefs about themselves and their world.

Discover how to bring your best, most conscious self into every interaction in a way that helps young children make meaning of their upset and develop healthy mental models. Join Conscious Discipline Master Instructor Angela Fraley to learn how to help children establish a mindset and skillset that empowers them to cooperate, handle upset, build healthy relationships, problem solve and develop an “I can handle this” attitude.

This event qualifies for 12 contact hours from the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education.
