COURSE OUTLINE:

In this salon, Dr. MacMannis will provide a power-point presentation on factors important to the successful treatment of kids with behavior problems.

•Factoring in diagnostics concerns and ADD

•Differentiating between kids who are acting out at home and/or at school

•Coaching parents in how to operate from a place of healthy detachment

•Applying techniques of paradox, reverse psychology and humor to enhance motivation

•Creating a collaborative new approach that’s introduced in a family meeting

•Uncovering and addressing the effects of parents’ own childhood issues

1. Name one finding from brain research that applies to successful relationships and parenting.


2. Describe the rationale for using an integrative approach to treating strong-willed kids.
