Brain development Quote by Daniel J. Siegel

“Too often we forget that “discipline” really means “to teach”—not “to punish.” A disciple is a student, not a recipient of behavioral consequences. When we teach mindsight, we take moments of conflict and transform them into opportunities for learning, skill building, and brain development.” quote by Daniel J. Siegel — Download Open image
