Behavior Basics
Does your
child listen to what you say? Does he/she throw long tantrums? Does your child have issues such as hitting or
biting? Come learn "Behavior Basics" from Christie Kimbler, M.Ed.,
Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
This two-part
series is applicable for both children with and without formal diagnosis.
The tools and strategies taught in this class will help parents learn how
to analyze why behaviors are happening and prevent them, all in a positive
reinforcement model.
The first part
of the lecture series will focus on teaching parents the tools to analyze the
causes of their children's behaviors and simple strategies to prevent them. The
second part will assume parents applied the lessons from the first lecture and
take the discussion to a deeper level to work on "what worked/what
didn't" and provide small group coaching. We will be bringing in
additional child intervention specialists for the second session so that
parents can work in small groups. Parents MUST attend Part One to attend
Part Two which will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 7:00 p.m.
