What Conscious Discipline Does… |
| Parent-child relationships that include healthy communication and the ability to set limits is the #1 factor in self-esteem, social competence, academic success, and psychosocialdevelopment of children (Strage and Brandt, 1999) |
Conscious Discipline® for parents significantly enhances parent-child relationships in the areas of setting limits, communication, satisfaction, involvement and support. |
|
The Ten Steps to Positive Discipline Training Manual, based on Dr. Bailey’s Conscious Discipline® program, was used to provide 5-week classes for parents in Mesa, Arizona. Instructors supplemented the manual with the award-winning audiotape Ten Principles of Positive Discipline and the Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline book.
Parents completed a 78-question Parent-Child Relationship Inventory (PCRI) before and after the class. The PCRI is a self-report questionnaire that measures parenting behaviors and dispositions on seven sub-scales. Results indicate that Conscious Discipline® is significantly effective in improving parent-child relationships on the following five scales.
1. Limit Setting Scale: Measures a parent’s effectiveness in establishing firm, fair limits.
Conscious Discipline® significantly increases parents’ ability to set limits, follow through and provide positive guidance strategies.
2. Communication Scale: Assesses a parent’s perception of how effectively he or she communicates with a child. In measuring the ability to talk with children, the scale also reflects parents’ empathy.
Conscious Discipline® significantly increases the parent’s ability to see from the child’s point of view and improves communication.
3. Satisfaction with Parenting: Measures the amount of pleasure and fulfillment an individual derives from being a parent.
Conscious Discipline® significantly improves parents’ satisfaction with parenting.
4. Involvement Scale: Examines the level of a parent’s interaction with the child, the time spent with the child and knowledge of the child’s interests.
Conscious Discipline® significantly increases parents’ involvement with children at home, at school and with their interests.
5. Parental Support Scale: Assesses the level of emotional and social support a parent receives.
Conscious Discipline® significantly helps parents support each other and/or create parent support systems.
