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.
