Challenging Child Behaviors: Helping All Children Be Successful
Why do some children "lose it" over seemingly insignificant issues? Have you ever been surprised by the perfectly mellow child who suddenly turns into an uncooperative monster, unable to get along with anyone else? What do you do when everyday activities turn into battles no one wins? How do you respond when a child refuses to listen and vehemently declares, "You can't make me!"
Challenging behaviors are like a great mystery. The real story is never what it looks like at first glance. And like a great mystery those challenges cannot be unraveled until we discover the real culprits.
Join Dr. Mary Sheedy Kurcinka to discover:
- How to build a relationship that makes kids WANT to work with you
- Strategies for identifying the REAL culprits behind challenging behaviors
- Effective tools for managing intensity – yours and the children's
- Techniques for teaching children respectful and appropriate ways to express feelings and needs
