What Do I Do If They Don't? Helping Children with Discipline Expecations and Techniques with Mr. Matt McNiff, M.A.
Raising children is tough work. Raising children who display defiant behavior can be even tougher. What do you do if the children refuse? What if my child has a developmental disability? What are some strategies that I can use when they don’t want to do what I ask of them? How do I stop my child from tantrumming? By the end of this workshop, the audience will have a better understanding as to why children display defiant behaviors and provide strategies for when they refuse, how to use timeouts appropriately, what to do when your child tantrums, and how to help reduce many more behavior issues.
