More About Jessica Flowers
“Rarely in my career have I seen teachers respond to anything the way they did to Conscious Discipline training with Jessica Flowers. I practically had to talk them into going home on a Friday evening.”

Jessica seamlessly moves between various Conscious Discipline Immersion Program partners, coaching in HeadStart, School District Voluntary Pre-K, faith-based and for-profit environments, uniting our community. Her ability to connect with teachers and directors has made a lasting impression and led to remarkable professional development growth.”
"SC First Steps 4K believes that you cannot teach what you don’t know. The work and devotion of Jessica Flowers to our program has been the game changer in what we know! Jessica has infused the wisdom and lessons of Conscious Discipline throughout the classrooms of SC First Steps 4K. We are forever grateful for Jessica’s gifts to build compassionate 4K classroom climates through safety, connections, and problem solving." She has been both an anchor and a lifeline for our teachers to know there is a better way for our children to grow and love through kindness.
"Jessica has revolutionized our lives by giving my husband and me critical tools using the Conscious Discipline framework to help parent our girls in a loving but effective manner. She helped us get on the same page in terms of parenting and to understand our children’s cognitive thought process which helped us respond and discipline in an appropriate way. Jessica became a mentor, a teacher, a resource, and a friend! Each week we looked forward to sharing our experiences, thoughts, feelings, and concerns about parenting. She will be a part of our lives for a very long time as we wind our way through the parenting journey!"
"Our staff attended a training session yesterday with JESSICA FLOWERS. If you know her, you know why I have her name in all caps! An extraordinary woman who cares deeply about the children who will be our future, in one sentence she showed us that children learn from those around them from the moment of their conception.
"Since we are all different, as children grow they learn differently. Some are missing skills because they were never taught. As adults, we expect them to "know better."
Wow, just a look at how you talk with children can change your world! That's why Jessica is going all over making ripples across our children's educational centers. Keep it up, Jessica, and for those who get an opportunity to hear her, LISTEN AND PRACTICE IT! After listening to Jessica, I'm looking forward anew to each day we have to touch a life."
"It was great seeing Jessica at the conference in Myrtle Beach. I loved her Friday session and wish all my colleagues could have attended! Thank you, Jessica, for making me not only a better teacher, but a better wife and mother. Your ripples are growing and I am advocating more for the change we need to see in the world, beginning with a change within me! Thank you, a million times."
"Jessica's wise and warm techniques have enabled me to feel confident about how to handle my children. I came to her feeling confused and unsure about how to
discipline. She has shown me how to approach these times with love and patience,thereby creating an opportunity to teach and bond, and not to simply rule by fear.
In fact, the Conscious Discipline philosophy applies very well to all relationships—including friendships and marriages. Moreover, Jessica is fun to get to know and a joy to be around. She has helped our entire family in our mastery of the very
important art of self-control and being conscious of our actions."
“Jessica is the best presenter I have EVER seen in any seminar in education in 30 years. So engaging, interactive and passionate.”
