Description
Description:
In this "hands-on" practice-oriented workshop, participants will learn effective engagement strategies with children, empirically-based parent management skills, and several family play and art therapy strategies that tap the inventiveness of the child and his/her family members to generate new ideas and co-construct solutions.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe three empirically-based parent management skills used to empower parents to resolve their children's behavioral difficulties.
- To describe two family play and art experiments to alter family-maintaining problem patterns to generate solutions.
