Parent Network event that you may be interested in: Lives in the Balance, is a Maine-Based non-profit organization founded by child psychologist Dr. Ross Greene, originator of the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions approach and author of the books The Explosive Child and Lost at School, and recently two new books Raising Human Beings and Lost and Found. Over the past 3 years Dr. Greene has collaborated with the G.E.A.R. Parent Network to hold FREE presentations across our state. During Dr. Greene’s educational lectures he states that significant progress has been made in our understanding of the factors underlying challenging behavior, and points toward lagging skills (rather than lagging motivation) as the key factor; and that the single most important thing a caregiver can do to help a behaviorally challenging child is to be the person who, at long last, identifies the lagging skills and unsolved problems that have been contributing to kids challenging episodes. Lives in the Balance has helped parents, youth, educators, residential & juvenile detention facilities and advocates learn non-punitive, non-adversarial, collaborative, proactive, skill-building, relationship-enhancing interventions. Please register today https://crisiscoun.wufoo.com/forms/msc7unj1y7b8cw/ for this FREE community event!
