‘Top 10 Parenting Myths and Misconceptions'

Surprise, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/05/2010 -- Effective child management is typically impacted by parenting beliefs and values that influence our parenting abilities (90%) and the implementation of specific parenting skills (10%).

2. At what age parents should begin disciplining their child,
3. Disciplining an ADHD child,
4. Whether psychotropic medication cures misbehavior, and

‘Teaching Compliance With Consequences’

Webinar, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/08/2010 -- Child misbehavior may not improve by just enforcing rules. Rules simply define behavioral expectations and boundaries. That is why we need to establish appropriate and effective consequences per rule. Establishing specific logical consequences that directly match specific rules is more effective than punishments in terms of improving child misbehavior. Sometimes, it is difficult to determine which child discipline or consequence would be the most effective. This webinar offers a variety of effective child discipline or consequences that could be implemented on children of all ages.

This webinar explores:

• The differences between logical consequences and punishments,
• The meaning of learned helplessness and its affect on children, and
• How to develop effective logical consequences.

At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will have developed an effective list of consequences for their home, classroom, or any other setting.

‘Creating Rules That Kids Follow’

Surprise, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/01/2010 -- Rules are the cinderblock of effective and successful child behavior management. Child discipline cannot adequately be implemented or enforced if effective rules are not first established. Rules define behavioral expectations in every setting whether it is home, school, or the community. Rules help prepare children to obey laws in our society. Rules are supposed to encourage behavior change. However, oftentimes rules are developed in such a way that they subsequently discourage compliance and promote defiance. We need to understand and be aware of the characteristics of rule setting so that we create rules that promote compliance, not defiance.

This webinar explores:

• The importance of rule setting,
• The identification and understanding of specific rule setting characteristics, and
• How to develop rules that kids will follow.

At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will have developed an effective list of rules for their home, classroom, or any other setting.
