More About Leslie Groth

During the time we have spent with Leslie, she has presented dynamic trainings and workshops that assist our early childhood staff in developing the knowledge and skills to implement Conscious Discipline with children ages 0-5. She was approachable and always welcomed a discussion. Leslie also acted as a coach to our teaching and administrative staff, spending much time in classrooms, working alongside teachers, and demonstrating in real time how they can utilize Conscious Discipline to support the social and emotional needs of children. Her hands on approach has been an effective support for our program.

Leslie’s presentations are impeccable! Her presentation style allowed our team to work hands on to develop techniques on how to manage our emotions. We left the trainings feeling energized and empowered to support staff, children, and families. We thank Leslie for giving us the tools to put in our toolbox.

Leslie presented Conscious Discipline at Cheerful Home Child Care and Early Learning Center. Leslie was very professional and informative. She has a warm, friendly approach which helped to engage staff throughout the training. Many staff members made physical changes in their classrooms after the training, and many teachers began to implement aspects of the Conscious Discipline philosophy with the students. I would highly recommend Leslie.
