Healing Discipline: Part 2, The Joy Continues

This two-day seminar is based on more than 40 years of combined experience working with children with challenging behaviors and finding success using research-based strategies. The seminar will provide educators with a better understanding of children who have suffered from disruptive attachment and trauma which are often the root cause of inappropriate and/or out-of-control behavior in the classroom. In a fun and interactive way, participants learn that having an emotionally healing environment is about establishing healthy boundaries and building healthy relationships with students. As the educator develops skills and confidence in working with challenging students, they’ll feel more joy and success in their role. This leads to a deeper connection between the educator and student which will enhance the student’s emotional and academic growth. Although the seminar is geared toward educators, mental health professionals and parents will also benefit.

Educational Goals and Learning Objectives

Participants will:

  • Gain an understanding of healthy versus unhealthy childhood development and the impact it has on behavior.
  • Gain a better understanding of the underlying causes of severe behavior including trauma, attachment, temperament, development and entitlement.
  • Have a better understanding of how their own personal history impacts interactions with others as well as the students and clients they work with.
  • Learn how good relationships, healthy boundaries, and effective communication can improve behavior and foster emotional healing in students and clients.  
  • Learn practical strategies and healthy discipline techniques that can immediately be implemented in classrooms.

This class is a continuation of our first course: “Healing Discipline: Finding Joy in Working with Challenging Students.” It is helpful to have taken our first course before this one but not required. If you want to take our first course, you can see if we have a live class available or take the class on demand.

In this training, we will spend time exploring our needs, priorities, emotional triggers, and roadblocks that get in the way of taking care of ourselves. As we delve deeper into understanding ourselves, we can more easily set boundaries with students, form healthy relationships with students and colleagues, and develop strong teams. When educators have a better understanding of themselves, they are less likely to take student behavior personally; therefore, they can make connections and set healthy boundaries that can lead to healing for their students. We will review Healing Discipline Strategies and learn additional techniques for managing student behavior. Participants will have the opportunity to create Healing Discipline Behavior Plans they can immediately implement in their classrooms.

Educational Goals and Learning Objectives

Participants will: 

  • Increase self-acceptance as well as develop confidence in yourself and your skills.
  • Review Healing Discipline Strategies and learn more advanced techniques to apply in the classroom. 
  • Gain more self-awareness.
  • Understand the “Road Blocks” that get in the way of taking care of yourself, and how to overcome the “Road Blocks” and set healthy boundaries with students.
  • Learn how to create Healing Discipline Behavior Plans that you can take back and use in your classroom and school(s). 
  • Understand the importance of maintaining expectations for difficult students.
  • Learn how to be a better communicator with your school team.
