Early Childhood Consultant
Discipline problems have a gentler, more effective answer.
You love the child in your care, but the yelling, the power struggles, the meltdowns wear you down. Jessica Shields Flowers helps parents, teachers, and child care leaders bring order, respect, and connection back.
Over 40 years in early childhood education, as a teacher, a center director, and now a national consultant. South Carolina's first Conscious Discipline® Certified Instructor, trained directly by Dr. Becky Bailey, founder of Conscious Discipline.
Decades in real classrooms, and the training to back it up
Jessica has been a preschool teacher, a center director, and a national trainer. She knows what a program actually needs because she's run one, and what a family actually needs because she's coached thousands of them directly.
Her toolkit is grounded in Conscious Discipline®, a trauma-informed, brain-based approach to behavior created by Dr. Becky Bailey, its founder. Jessica trained directly with Dr. Bailey and became South Carolina's first Certified Instructor.
