“I was drowning.” With the help of the Feeling Buddies and a local prison, this Missouri Principal transforms her school from drowning, with more than 700 referrals per year, to thriving with less than 200!

The community-based, pay-it-forward values imbedded within Conscious Discipline encouraged the uncommon link between the early childhood center and the prison. The prisoners’ work served a meaningful purpose, while the children received an important emotional regulation tool (the Feeling Buddies) and a way to feel connected with relatives who were imprisoned. 

Lives on both sides of the fence improve with greater feelings of self-worth and success when we replace isolation, aggression and despondency with connection, contribution and emotional regulation through Conscious Discipline.
