What is Conscious Discipline and why does every child need connection?
Hey, it's Debbie. Today I'm sharing a Playback Friday episode. It's a powerful conversation from Deep in the Tilt Parenting Podcast archives. Unless you're a longtime listener, you likely haven't heard this one yet. And even if you have, I bet you'll get something completely different from it this time around.
Every child needs connection. Every child and you have to find how to reach that child and some of the children. You're gonna have to find the key to get through. You have to get through all the sensory stimulation, you have to get through all this other stuff, but you have got to find a way. to make a connection with that child. And once you get that connection, they have to have a felt sense of safety. Once they have those two ingredients, All of us will start to to blossom.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and in this episode, I'm excited to be bringing to the show Dr. Becky Bailey, an award-winning author, speaker, educator, and expert in childhood education and developmental psychology. For more than 20 years, Dr. Bailey has been a Pioneer in the movement to change the way children and in particular differently wired children are treated. Many parents and teachers in the Tilt community know her as the founder of Conscious Discipline, an evidence-based comprehensive approach to behavior using the principles of safety, connection, and problem solving.
Initially conceived for classrooms, the conscious discipline techniques are now used all over the World in classrooms and homes alike, leading a revolution of the heart rooted in brain science. This conversation is full of the kind of powerful reframes and helpful tips that will leave you not only thinking about your parenting differently, but will give you step-by-step changes you can begin implementing immediately in your interactions with your child. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have this conversation with Doctor Bailey, who generously shared so much wisdom with us. And now here is my conversation with doctor Bailey. Hello Becky, welcome to the podcast.
Well thank you. It's great to be here.
I'm excited to have you on the show. I've been really diving into your work. I've been familiar with your work for months and months and months and beyond. Um, and I was so excited when you agreed to be on the show and honestly a little overwhelmed because you work in so many different areas and there's so much to share. But today I would love to really introduce my listeners to your conscious discipline model and that work that you You began I think you recently a couple of years ago had your twenty year anniversary, is that correct?
Yeah, so we're we're moving on to twenty five years. Of course I've been doing it for Well gosh, I don't know that I wanna tell everybody that but probably you know, I think it's my life's work. So since I was born.
Yeah. Wow. Well, I actually would love to I know that you were an educator and I'm curious if you could share with us what inspired you to create this model. You know, was it something that happened over time as you were a teacher or tell us about that shift in your work?
I think uh as I looked out into the world there was a lot of Бі чален біг'ярс да чітк зибити. that were deemed as the the view that they were seen as was uh either something's wrong with the child or they're being very disrespectful, oppositional, and it was uh that view that I thought was inhibiting any chance of uh uh of mindset growth in that area. And it's also very easy to see that the same kids who seem to be marginalized or get in trouble are the same kids over and over and over and over again, so whatever you're doing isn't working. And as a teacher I just kept saying there's got to be a better way. I mean Uh we're just not approaching this correctly. And then around uh
maybe four years for if I was a teacher, but around age seventeen.
