Growing Together Through Conscious Discipline!

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming back our favorite Conscious Discipline® expert, Jessica Flowers from Ripple Effect -Charleston's conscious discipline experts, for our Conscious Discipline Immersion Program training!

It was a meaningful day of learning, reflection, and growth as early childhood educators came together to deepen their understanding of Conscious Discipline and strengthen the ways they support children’s development.

We were thrilled to have educators join us from:
🌿 RCMA: Whispering Pines
🌿 Kendall Academy Preschool Center
🌿 Community Preschool
🌿 Head Start (Douglas Head Start and Indian River Academy)
🌿 The Willow School
🌿 Childcare Resources

It’s always a growth-filled day when Jessica visits! Her knowledge, passion, and practical strategies continue to inspire us as we work together to create nurturing, connected, and supportive environments where both children and educators can thrive.

What if the timer isn’t teaching children what we think it is? In this thought-provoking piece, Jessica challenges the common practice of using timers to manage conflicts over coveted toys and invites Early Childhood Educators to reconsider the language of “sharing” and embrace the power of taking turns.
