Description:

As parents, we learn what pushes our children’s buttons and may inadvertently learn to avoid or accommodate those situations so as not to derail the day. While we don't want you to pick every battle, avoiding all of them can be a disservice to your child in the long run, as it may mask your child's missing skill(s). Unfortunately, those missing skills are often revealed in other environments where the teacher or coach cannot be flexible or accommodate your child's missing skills. So even though you may not experience unwanted behaviors at home, you are the key teacher when your child is struggling at school or in other community settings.

For example, if your child is hitting at school, but never hits at home, we may identify that your child is hitting when s/he needs to wait for things at school. Your child may not have to wait for many things at home. You need not have a group of 20 children to teach your child how to wait for things at home. But you may need to create opportunities at home that don't currently exist to teach your child to wait for things.

*This parent education workshop contains pivotal skills that ALL families and children will benefit from regardless of age and ability.
