FAMILIES! TRANSFORMING AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIORS [CONSCIOUS DISCIPLINE]

There is a way to permanently change children’s behaviors, even the most challenging children with diverse needs and abilities. Children must be both “willing” to learn how to behave and must know the “skills” of how to successfully interact with others. By addressing both of these dimensions, we can achieve success with our most demanding children. Learn the skills needed transform your aggressive and defiant children into cooperative members of your learning community. In this workshop you will gain a toolbox of skills necessary to identify, meet, and manage your most difficult children
