Connecting with Children to Re-Route Difficult Behaviors

This workshop draws from interpersonal neurobiology, Emotion Coaching, and Teacher-Child Interaction Therapy treatments that are aimed at addressing disruptive behavior in children. You will learn how to connect with children in a way that fosters deeper understanding, enhances emotion regulation, and creates better cooperation. The reasons behind children’s behavior come from a number of sources, but the ways to address them are simple and logical if they are applied with consistency and predictability. We will focus on positive discipline strategies, including how to pay more attention to children when they are behaving well, than when they are not.
