Great Book--Conscious Discipline by Dr. Becky Bailey



"We all need help. We need new skills, not quick fixes. We need a way to resolve our internal conflicts and be the person we want children to become. We need to be compassionate without being permissive. We need to be firm without being disrespectful. We need changes that start from within us--changes that heal our souls, strengthen our character and improve our willpower--so we are strong enough to do the same for the children who walk through our doors and in our halls."

Dr. Becky Bailey

This book is also entitled 7 basic Skills for Brain Smart Classroom Management. However, I am finding many many helpful ideas for everyone who is in a relationship with anyone. Assertiveness, what you focus on you get more of, effective praise relies on describing, not judging and so much more.
