WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING:

“I have attended Conscious Discipline® workshops over the past 2 years. Peggy Osborne has been the instructor. Peggy does a wonderful job at presenting the program and giving you the tools to take back to your classroom and use.   I have taught for 29 years and I can truly say that this program is the best discipline program, hands down!  I would recommend Conscious Discipline® to every teacher on both the elementary and secondary levels.  I have a daughter in college (Education Major) and I will pay for her to attend this workshop.  I feel that it will benefit her tremendously and get her started on the right foot.”

--Barbara Henry
College Station Kindergarten Teacher

“After several years of being trained in CD I continue to be challenged and motivated to grow as a teacher! Attending CD workshops has changed my life both personally and professionally. Not only are the workshops engaging and fun, they have equipped me with specific skills and a deeper understanding of appropriate discipline. I wish all staff development opportunities were as insightful and practical!”

--Andrea Poehl
CSISD Head Start Teacher

The power in Peggy's presentation comes from the way she models what she's teaching.  Seeing what Conscious Discipline® looks like in action gives me confidence that I can do the same thing in my own life and classroom.

Junior High Teacher

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING:

“I have attended a series of conferences led by Peggy Osborne and have come away with the desire to share the information with every parent that I meet.  One group in particular that I have shared with has been our group at church called “Mothers of Teens”.  Peggy came and led our group in a series of sessions.  She has a gift in presenting the material clearly and with contagious enthusiasm!  Participants have told me that they immediately implemented strategies that she shared and have seen great successes with their teens!  From the discussion on the brain states, learning to QTIP (Quit taking it personally), to making significant connections with their teens…it has all been such a help to our families!  I would encourage any parent to attend these workshops!”

--Melody Thompson
Parent and “Mothers of Teens” Facilitator

"As a mother of a 4 year old and a 5 year old, Conscious Discipline® has been a sanity saver!  It gives me a positive alternative to ordinary, ineffective discipline while empowering my kids to make decisions for themselves as well as giving them the ability to stand up for themselves.  I love it!"

--Cari Horn
Parent

“Conscious Discipline® is absolutely great!  It has helped me with dealing with my 4 and 7 year old sons as well as in my profession. Conscious Discipline® gives me an outlook on making positive choices and decisions towards negative behavior, while still empowering my children.  My children can now use their voice and communicate with others and understand their feelings without getting frustrated or having a temper tantrum.  Conscious Discipline® is one ride that we are loving and learning from everyday.”

-- Catrina Martinez
Resource Assistant and Parent

“Conscious Discipline® is not just another great parenting tip- it is the TOOL I have been looking for.  Finally- an answer to "why?" AND "how?"!  It's the recipe for BEING a great person and RAISING great people.  This class is so positive and effective in parenting, teaching, and life skills that- in my opinion- should be mandatory.  It has the power to change lives. Well- that's the short version of how I feel about Conscious Discipline®!”

--Dawn
Parent of two young children

WHAT ADMINISTRATORS ARE SAYING:

"I can't thank you enough for the training you provided our staff.  Monday afternoon we changed our plans and just devoted our time to planning each teacher's implementation of their new learning.  On Tuesday, you could FEEL the difference in our staff.  Everyone used QTIP and one team had placed QTIPS in the boxes of their team as a reminder.  The teachers began implementing jobs, safe places, treasure boxes, and breathing.  I have never seen such a dramatic change.  In the words of one teacher, "We were SAVED on Monday!"  Please let Lauren know how much you both have done to change our attitudes and vision for our campus.  The teachers are demanding more!!!!  You both are gifted and we can't express our appreciation for your willingness to share with us.  All the staff and students of our school are better off!"  

—Assistant Principal
Bryan, TX

“Conscious Discipline® has helped our school use a common language with our student body.  We have created a school family by using strategies and ideas from CD.  Student connections are also made on a daily basis that promote learning.   Peggy's support and workshops have provided the staff with understandings about learning and behavior that promote learning, well being, and positive connections with each student that attends our school.”

—Donna Bairrington/Slaughter
Principal, Pebble Creek Elementary

 “Conscious Discipline® is a change agent, both professionally and personally. Once you hear the concepts, it is very difficult not to rethink your belief systems!  It forces you to think about your own actions and taking responsibility for your responses.  I have found Conscious Discipline® to be extremely beneficial when working with 5th and 6th grade students, as well as in my interactions with adults.”

—Jane Rankin
Principal, Intermediate School

“The Conscious Discipline® Training that Peggy Osborne provided for Region VII Education Service Center teachers, administrators, and staff has fueled the fire for implementing “a better way” to live, learn, and teach for all.  Her passion, experience, knowledge, and presentation style are a powerful inspiration to motivate change from within.  You will be encouraged by this training that is a life altering experience. The practices that are presented are very grounded in research… and they work!”

—Mary Margaret Wilson, M. Ed
Region VII ESC / Early Childhood Coordinator
