Behavior Management: Love VS Fear – 1.5 hours – There are many behavior management systems that do not work.  There are a lot of books written about these same strategies.  Most traditional strategies hurt a child’s emotional wellness and replace it with embarrassment and shame.  Finding strategies that are proactive, strength based and keep emotional wellness intact are the strategies we should be using. Join Megg Thompson, as she helps us find those important strategies that help children prepare for the real world. Find a positive way to manage behavior and be proactive and not reactive. Presented By: Megg Thompson, Certified Behavior Consultant and Life Coach.
