Are you caring for a child that’s between 2 and 12 and consistently doesn’t listen to your requests? Are you tired of repeating the same thing over and over again, when you know your child already knows the routine? Are you a parent, caregiver, or educator to a child with ADHD?

This workshop teaches you what causes defiant behavior in kids, and the principles of building better behaviour patterns. Share stories and learn best practices and start creating positive change!

Workshop Topics:

  • Being proactive in establishing new ways to think and act
  • Addressing behavior issues at home, school and public places
  • Using rewards and incentives that actually work
  • Discovering the power of positive attention and praise
  • Staying calm and consistent at the most challenging of times
