We're in a workshop on Conscious Discipline. I've found it quite interesting. What I've gotten out of it so far is focusing on the difference between commands and requests, and when to use each. Also the subtle difference between thanking the child for doing something and giving them specific praise for the action they performed. In this realm it gets into the difference between raising a "people pleaser" versus raising someone with good self esteem. Other things include focusing on being assertive instead of passive or aggressive.
I don't do a very good job of explaining it. But it's good stuff and I would definitely recommend taking the workshop.
