Some of the skills you’ll learn is to develop clear and consistent strategies for responding to misbehavior; move from tantrum to tranquility by connecting and calming; apply the three “Brain C’s” and understand how neuroscience impacts your disciplinary decisions; and remain firm and consistent in your discipline, while communicating with warmth, love, respect and compassion.
