Course Overview: Do you dread the “hard” child on your caseload that saps your energy? What if you had a step-by-step plan to improve self-control so children were calmer and participated more readily in therapy activities? Discover positive behavior strategies, rooted in neuroscience, that help children listen and better manage big emotions. Learn language to use with parents so they can get on the same page and successfully implement home programs without fighting or resistance.
This interactive presentation is for therapists who recognize that “intense” children require an uncommon approach, and want to know exactly what this is. Based on The Mad2Glad BlueprintTM, these practical step-by-step strategies will free up your time and energy to focus on goals not behaviors. Restore your confidence and motivation to continue doing your valuable work!
