Kim Hughes, a Conscious Discipline certified instructor, joins us to discuss how parents, guardians and caretakers can become better "behavior detectives". Kim demonstrates how through treating tricky behavior as a form of communication, and using emotional co-regulation as a tool to get us back to square one, we can set the children in our care up for long-term success.

In this episode we discuss:

• Conscious Discipline as a practice
• The brain state model
• Moving from controlling to connecting (modeling)
• Naming feelings
• Seeing mistakes as future opportunities
• Arming children with alternative modes of expressing needs
