Challenging Child? Not Anymore! (Part 1)
Has anybody ever told you: “You just need to be tougher or more consistent with a challenging child”? Did you feel they were wrong, but couldn’t come up with a better plan? This presentation, based on the Collaborative Problem Solving model developed and articulated by Ross Greene, PhD (author of The Explosive Child, and Lost at School) and Stuart Ablon, PhD (author of Treating Explosive Kids) will show why traditional methods of intervention don’t work for so many challenging kids and what does work from the perspective of a parent who’s been there.
Presenter: Alicia Stevenson, B.S. Trainer/Consultant, New Jersey
