First rule of Conscious Discipline is you do not talk about Conscious Discipline!<\/h3>\n

Hello, fellow CD Member. Today\u2019s meeting is to discuss how to handle Project Mayhem, AKA big emotions. How do you explain that the feelings you own end up owning you to a child who\u2019s been in this world for only a few months? Help them let go of that anger, sadness, or disappointment by following a few tried and true methods that help build self-regulation skills. One day, you\u2019ll see your child self-comforting in a healthy way. Below is an example of how you can allow big emotions with non-judgmental actions.<\/p>\n

Name the emotion<\/h3>\n

\u201cYou met me at a very strange time in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, child, I did meet you at a time that was not ideal, but here we are. I see that you took that toy from someone and wanted it for yourself. That jealousy can be used to help yourself, but we don\u2019t take from others to give to ourselves.<\/p>\n

Breathing techniques<\/h3>\n

\u201cIf you wake up in a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?\u201d<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s think about how you can help yourself in a calm way. First, we need to clear our minds. Do balloon breathing with me. Take a deep breath in and raise your arms. Then blow out like a balloon\u2026<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t dismiss their feelings<\/h3>\n

\u201cI felt like destroying something beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

I understand you want his toy, but sometimes we have to wait or figure out something else.<\/p>\n

Connect with them<\/h3>\n

\u201cI say never be complete. Stop being perfect. I say let\u2019s evolve, let the chips fall where they may.\u201d<\/p>\n

You made a mistake, and it hurt the other person. You can always fix mistakes. Your guilt lets you know that you want to fix something. Do you want help returning the toy, or will you do it on your own? Either way, let\u2019s hug before and after because you\u2019re brave for fixing mistakes.<\/p>\n

Creating a safe space<\/h3>\n

\u201cMost people, normal people, do just about anything to avoid a fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

I love you, and you can always ask for something if you want it. But taking without asking will create problems. You\u2019re great at fixing problems and finding things to do. The problem right now is that you want something to do while you wait for the toy.<\/p>\n

Problem solving<\/h3>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s only after we\u2019ve lost everything that we\u2019re free to do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think we should do?<\/p>\n

Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing. Fellow CD Member, I see you and how you sacrifice your frustration and replace it with patience; how you create moments of love and safety amid a range of emotions; and how you follow the lead because that\u2019s what a leader does sometimes. Although the first rule of Project Mayhem is to not ask questions, you will still figure out a way to make things peaceful again.<\/p>\n
