Class Structure:

The classes will consist of a variety of presentations, guided discussions, brief exercises, video demonstrations and question and answer times. Rather than a traditional lecture style, the classes are designed with a “round table” approach, where parents can bring questions, ideas and input in order to facilitate discussion. The presenters will endeavor to provide a broad, conceptual framework for the classes, in order that parents may take the information to their own consultants and teams, in order to structure details, strategies and programs specific to their child.

Readings(all books and other readings are included in the course fee) :

SOS Help for Parents: A Practical Guide for Handling Common Everyday Behavior Problems. Author: Lynn Clark.

The Power of Positive Parenting. Author: Glenn I. Latham
