WORKSHOP - Content provides a clear understanding of (1) the motivations of children who 'tune out' when parents, teachers, or other adults speak; and (2) communication approaches that get 'adult deaf' kids to listen. Role plays develop skills that are immediately useful. Methods are positive, mutually respectful, and effective. (Ages 2-14)

WORKSHOP - Especially helpful for those who wish to use a positive approach and logical consequences when discipline is required, but struggle to 'come up' with successful ones. Workshop highlights an in-depth look at the concept of logical consequences: participants learn the four R's of consequence effectiveness, and to recognize and avoid actions which can subtly sabotage even the best consequence. (Ages 3-14)

WORKSHOP - Content focuses on learning why the common practice of using 'time out' as a discipline measure (beyond age two) leads to power struggles and actually intensifies behavior problems. Participants learn and practice applying simple, positive and practical alternatives which increase discipline effectiveness significantly. (Ages 2 & up)
