‘Shaping Behavior with Rewards’ Live Interactive Parenting Webinar - 26-05-2010
Wouldn't it be great if child misbehavior improves just with the use of rewards instead implementing rules and consequences? This can be a reality if implemented correctly. Earning rewards encourages compliance and cooperation as it focuses on the child's strengths. Simply enforcing rules and consequences, although needed, can be a negative experience as the focus is mostly on the child's weaknesses and faults.This webinar explores:
1. The importance of implementing a reward or token economy system to shape or improve the behavior of children,
2. How to extinguish a reward or token economy system to get the maximum benefit, and
3. How to develop effective reward or token economy systems that are guaranteed to improve child behavior.
At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will have developed an effective reward (token economy) system for their home, classroom, or any other setting.

'Teaching Compliance With Consequences' Live Interactive Parenting Webinar - 06-04-2010
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.

Live Interactive Parenting Webinar Announcement – ‘Creating Rules That Kids Follow’ - 31-03-2010
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.

Live Parenting Webinar Announcement - 'Why Children Misbehave' - 24-03-2010
We would like to invite you to attend a live parenting webinar entitled:
'Why Children Misbehave'
In order to effectively discipline children, we first must have an understanding as to why children misbehave. If we discipline a child who misbehaves primarily because of a medical or emotional problem, the discipline imposed can be counterproductive. Children can misbehave for a variety of reasons. Most of the reasons why children misbehave can be controlled for and altered once identified. This powerful live one-hour research-based webinar explores reasons for child misbehavior by examining the psychology, biology, social, and environmental factors that can contribute to child misbehavior. Since this webinar contains all the latest research regarding child misbehavior, it is constantly updated.
At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to identify specific factors within their own children that may contribute to child misbehavior.As our gift for attending, participants will receive a free copy of our "Standing Up To Bullying" Computer game. This game, designed to teach children anti-bullying skills, can be played in classrooms, homes, or therapy settings.

Bullying Prevention Skills and Techniques for Children - 05-12-2009
Child bullying is a big problem in our schools today. The main difference between child bullying today from the past is the nature of the bullying and the violence that occurs in the aftermath. Cyberbullying is becoming a popular and more destructive form of bullying than traditional bullying. More children today are bringing guns to school to seek revenge on others. Child bullying has been around and will probably remain for years to come. Unfortunately, we do not have the power to rid the world of bullying. The answer to the issue of child bullying rests within us, especially the victims of bullying. Victims of bullying are never responsible for being bullied. On the contrary, victims of child bullying have the power in themselves to think, behave, and react in ways that limits or eradicates bullying. As a society, we spend much of our energy identifying and punishing the bully that we fail to spend adequate time empowering the victims of child bullying. We should spend more of our energy on the things that we can control rather than the things that we have limited or no control over. We need to teach children about the power that they already possess. Let me elaborate on a few issues that parents should teach their children regarding bullying prevention................

Improving Your Child's Behavior through Problem Ownership - 05-12-2009
One of the most effective and powerful ways to improve a child’s behavior is to make sure the child always assumes complete responsibility and ownership of his or her behavior.
