Kinship Live Virtual Webinar Training – “Parenting Series: Behaviors Out Of Control. Managing Defiance And Oppositional Defiant Behaviors (ODD)”
March 12 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm EDT
Children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, or ODD, often struggle with defiant behaviors in which they challenge caregivers, break rules, lose their temper, even becoming frequently angry or annoyed. For these children and families, these daily conflicts can be very stressful-especially when it can be difficult to manage. In this webinar, we’ll look at appropriate intervention strategies including how caregivers can respond to help their child while attempting to create a less stressful environment. We’ll also take a look at positive discipline strategies that will can be more effective providing appropriate discipline.
