Helping Children Manage Emotions / Behaviors

with Kathryn Pearson

Workshop Overview

Workshops are designed to teach participants an immediate, hands on, practical format to use with children and adolescents to help them manage their emotions and behaviors. Feelings and learned coping mechanisms underlie the inappropriate school behaviors of elementary aged children, and the high risk activities including sexual acting out, chemical usage and gambling behaviors of adolescents. Participants will learn a sequenced way to address the necessary steps involved in affecting positive behavior change. Each participant will receive a copy of the curriculum/book appropriate for the age level of the children they work with.
