Course Overview

Helping Professionals need more than hand-me-down folk wisdom to support parents and caregivers with serious behavior issues in children and teens. So often, caregivers are in “recovery” from their own childhoods wherein ineffective parenting strategies were modeled for them, or caregivers are reacting to their childhoods and over-compensating for the transgressions of the past.  Some parents are in recovery from substance use disorders and find the stresses of parenting very triggering.  All members of a multi-disciplinary team want to support caregivers in being more effective parents. This two-day Behavioral Parent Training course assists all members of a multi-disciplinary team to give parents and caregivers concrete support to feel more successful.

This two-day Intensive provides multi-disciplinary team members with the concrete approaches to helping parents foster behavioral change in children and teens.   That change begins first with the parents. The Intensive toggles between standard strategies and special adaptations for those children with Attachment deficits, ADHD, sensory processing issues, trauma, and neurodivergence.    

Learning Objectives

The participant will be able to:

• Differentiate folk parenting strategies from trauma-informed parenting strategies. 
• Define the roots of defiance and oppositionality and substance use in children and teenagers. Identify the role of Coercive Parenting Tactics that increase oppositionality and substance use.
• Differentiate between Motivational Deficits and Skill-Deficits and Trauma-Deficits in child behavioral problems. 
• Apply specific Behavioral strategies and adjust for Skill-deficits and Trauma.
• Adjust the application of strategies for child/adolescent behavioral problems that are complicated by Neurodivergence, ADHD/ADD, Bipolar Disorder, Attachment issues, Trauma and other cognitive/emotional challenges.
