Wednesday, July 30 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.
2.5 hours of Continuing Education credit
While much has been written about the far reaching importance of “parenting skills” for the healthy emotional development of children, not as much awareness exists about the influences of a child’s temperament characteristics (“styles of behavior“) on his or her development and how these characteristics influence parenting. In this workshop, research will be actively and graphically presented to show the implications for child advocates, caregivers, families, and therapists in helping to design and monitor case plans and parenting plans that create an optimal “goodness of fit” between parents/caregivers and children’s temperament, for more effective parenting. Through discussion, demonstrations, and graphic displays, the learning will be lively, informative, participatory, and fun.
