Description: |
This course introduces the complexity of reasons why difficult children are “difficult.” Problematic behavior, misbehavior, or acting out can be sensational, and focus parents, teachers, social workers, therapists, and mental health and social services workers on just stopping the behavior. However, in order to achieve long-term change, it is critical to understand the underlying causes for behavior. Six simple assessment questions lead to greater sophistication and diagnosis that will facilitate more successful interventions. Since some parents are in denial about their children’s behaviors or issues, a specific process for intervention will be presented. This will include identifying common errors in such a process.
