About
School Age Children, who recognize and can manage their emotions as well as recognize and influence the emotions of others, tend to be more successful. You play a big role in teaching your child these important skills, mainly through modeling behavior.
You probably won’t be surprised to learn that through punishment you might scare a child into following directions in the short run, but you don’t get long-term behavior changes. Mountains of research has shown without doubt that children seek connection with their parents and those parents who focus that connection on positive behavior, win more cooperation. Learn more about the School Age child brain-body-behavior connection and proven solutions to confidently build more connection and cooperation in these live workshop titles.
