How can you turn moments of struggle into moments of connection? Discover how brain development, implicit memories, and the “6 F’s” (Fight, Flight, Freeze, Friend, Fidget, Flop) can influence your foster or adoptive child’s reactions to traditional methods of discipline, and develop compassionate, creative, and effective strategies for limit-setting and consequences that simultaneously enhance healthy attachment patterns in the child-caregiver relationship. Tools to cope with common struggles will be addressed, including separation anxiety, transitions, homework, aggression, lying, stealing, hoarding, argumentativeness, and sleep anxiety.

Feedback from this class: "OMG! Thank you for today's training! I feel like this one is going to be a game-changer in our house. I am planning to print most of those slides so I have an easy reference guide to help navigate challenging behaviors. I really didn't feel like attending this morning but I'm so glad I did - this will be one I think I'll watch over and over to keep reinforcing the learning points!"
