Is getting out the door in the morning a daily battle? Do you find yourself resorting to consequences you just can’t stick with? Did you think the tantrums would stop when your child graduated from toddlerhood? Small Brooklyn Psychology’s Maddy Clark, LCSW, will share an overview of behavioral interventions for elementary-age children. You will receive specific tools and strategies to manage persistent task avoidance, respond to emotional outbursts, and handle other disruptive behaviors — all while preserving the parent-child relationship.
This webinar will help you understand the elementary school years (and not just survive them!). Maddy will save time at the end for a Q&A with participants, moderated by Dr. Mandi White-Ajmani.
This webinar is held in partnership with Park Slope Parents!
