The focus of the workshop “Changing Bad Behaviors for Good Ones” is how to teach to inappropriate behaviors. Techniques will be discussed that will replace yelling with a teaching vehicle that can utilize consequences, strengthen relationships and ultimately provide the behaviors you desire. These techniques will send your child a powerful and effective message without the use of anger and the daily conflict that can harm your child’s self- esteem and self-image.
