Reflection on Conscious Discipline® Journey
By Michelle Immekus
This summer, numerous Palm Beach County early childhood center leaders and educators
had the privilege of attending the Conscious Discipline® Summer Institute. After
the conference, the group came together to reflect on the experience and determine
the next steps for implementation. The excitement of the new learning experience was
contagious.
Reflecting upon her experiences, early childhood educator Mildred Lamsiere stated,
“I am so appreciative for the introduction to Conscious Discipline®. Conscious Discipline®
has changed my thought process and has allowed me to be more tolerant to people and
student behaviors, and most importantly, to love more.” Previous attendee Jessica
Feliciano reflected on her most important takeaways, which included building meaningful
connections with children and staff, understanding the importance of social emotional
competence for our children, and shifting chaos to calm throughout the day.
Conscious Discipline® participants reflect on journey and
strategize plans for next steps.
