SUMMARY:Kinship Live Virtual Webinar Training- “I’m Pulling My Hair OUT! Family Bonding And Discipline With Kinship Children”
DESCRIPTION:Caring for a relative’s child or a friend’s child comes with a lot of changes and challenges. From finding new routines to figuring out everyone’s likes and dislikes\, bringing another child into the home can cause adjustments from everyone-including how we relate\, relationships we develop\, and how we discipline. \nOne of the biggest adjustments for caregivers is learning how to help everyone in the family learn to get along well. Add in the challenges of discipline\, and your home can turn into a battleground overnight! As kinship caregivers\, we have to learn methods for helping family members learn to relate to one another through positive\, relationship-building experiences\, and\, discipline efforts that can teach kinship children in a way that is effective- especially considering the fears and emotions that many kinship children come with. The goal will be to learn how to improve relationships while making discipline efforts less challenging\, exhausting\, and frustrating for children and caregivers. \nJoin us Tuesday\, April 18\, 2023 from 5:30 pm – 7 pm EST as we explore how to help our kinship children adjust through our relationships and parenting strategies. \nREGISTER NOW \nAbout the Trainer: \nJennifer Connor Godbey\, is an Assistant Professor and outpatient clinician at University of Kentucky\, Department of Psychiatry seeing a variety of patients\, adults\, adolescents and their families.
