What is the best way to quickly defuse your child's challenging behavior in the heat of the moment?  Yelling at them?  Punishing them?  Grounding them in their room for a week?  Or giving "Show 'em who's BOSS" vibes.  Using these harsh methods will only add fuel to the fire.  And the point is NOT TO make things worse in those intense situations.  Join us in learning to remain calm and use different techniques that can help defuse a situation before it gets worse?  Please pre-register to attend online at www.parentnetwork.org or to attend in person pre-register at www.rsu25.maineadulted.org or call 207-469-2129.

All children and youth have outbursts from time to time, however some do have more difficulty in their ability to regulate their emotions and behaviors even when adverse consequences may occur.  This lack of self-contol can cause significant distress or impairment in a child's or youth's life.  A number of different diagnoses are unified by impulsive and disruptive behaviors including oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD), and impulse control disorder (ICD).  In this workshop you will learn more about the disorders defined in the chapter on disruptive, impulse-contol, and conduct disorders by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), what treatments are available, and what parents/caregivers can do to better respond to impulsive and disruptive behavior.  Please jpre-register to attend online at www.gearparentnetwork.org or to attend in person re-register at www.rsu25.maineadulted.org or call 469-2129.
