Restorative Discipline in Early Childhood (1 hour)

Restorative Discipline in Early Childhood

This course is designed to reimagine how we respond to conflict, emotion, and behavior in early learning settings. This is not a course about managing children, it’s about building relationships, fostering emotional safety, and cultivating agency through connection. This course invites you to move beyond compliance-based tools and into a restorative mindset, one that centers dignity, empathy, and co-regulation. (1 hour)
