• make sound decisions & behave in ways that serve themselves and others
Helping children overcome obstacles by making implicit memories explicit
Integrating thoughts, feelings, body sensations and perceptions
Enabling children (and ourselves) to
• live more mindfully
• become more disciplined, and
• develop a fuller sense of self
Exploring positive discipline
• Avoiding power struggles
• Setting limits
• Encouraging self-discipline
Communicating clearly and effectively with children and encouraging them to do the same
