Heather Boyd is joined by Mr. Chazz, educator, mentor, and motivational speaker, who is making positive waves in the parenting community through his work teaching Conscious Discipline.

In this episode, Mr. Chazz covers:

  • The 5 steps to Conscious Discipline (I am, I calm, I feel, I choose, and I solve)

  • The idea of accepting the parenting reality in front of you, instead of resisting it

  • Learning conscious discipline and emotional regulation for your SELF, so that you can teach it to your child

  • How an understanding of the 3 brain states (executive, emotional, and survival) can help you and your child regulate big emotions

  • Why it's more than just "know better, do better"

  • The OOPS strategy to life's "oopses" (Our Opportunity to Practice Skills, or Our Opportunity to Problem Solve)

  • The analogy of adding "songs" to our harddrive or playlist to break the cycle on reactive parenting

  • Why he believes that we ought to move beyond self-care to encompass "community-care"
