Presentation Description


As is commonly understood, there is no such thing as a “bad child” merely “bad behavior.” Therefore, in this workshop, Corrie Sirota, Grief, Loss and Bereavement Specialist, will help participants focus on understanding the WHY behind children who act out and/or present with deviant behaviors ranging from anxiety to bullying.
Through a combination of lecture and interactive exercises participants will learn a variety of strategies to address challenging behaviors. The presentation is seen through the lens of a Strength Based perspective.
