Attachment & Self-Regulation: Tools for Empowering Positive Behavior from the Inside Out
Have you ever felt like you spend so much time dealing with attention or behavior issues that your therapy or educational goals suffer? When children become dysregulated in emotion, thought, or behavior they’re simply not able to meaningfully participate in tasks. And while it can only take an instant for some kids to collapse into a tantrum (or other resistant behavior), it takes much longer to de-escalate to a point where a child is capable of cooperating and by then you’ve lost so much valuable time for learning.
Now imagine a reserve of practical strategies to deal with difficult behaviors in children in your back pocket.
Watch Kathryne Cammisa. MHE, OTR/L as she walks you step by-step- through strategies that will empower you & the children you work with for positive behavior change. Learn & practice quick techniques that will make your current interventions doubly effective. Add tricks to your toolbox that will make therapy more productive & fun, while acquiring skills to teach kids tools to resist emotional reactivity and grow their self-regulation abilities for improved overall functioning.
