Part One: The expression of frustration and aggression in children and teens can take on many forms including temper tantrums and various forms of attack. Part of making headway requires understanding the roots of frustration and aggression and how to deal with the resulting behaviours. This presentation will focus on strategies for dealing with a frustrated child while preserving one’s relationship to them. It will address the importance of setting limits and helping children learn they can survive futilities that are part of life.
Part Two: As many as 20% of children and teens qualify for an anxiety disorder diagnosis, making it the most common mental health issue today. Anxiety can take many forms including obsessions, compulsions, phobias as well as other perplexing behaviours. We cannot treat something we do not understand, and making sense of anxiety is fundamental in making headway. This presentation will bring a fresh and promising perspective to one of our most troubling human problems.
Dr. Deborah MacNamara is the author of the best-selling book Rest, Play Grow: Making Sense of Preschoolers (or anyone who acts like one), is on Faculty at the Neufeld Institute, and is the Director of Kid’s Best Bet, a Counselling and Family Resource Centre. She is a dynamic teach and experienced counsellor who makes developmental science come to life in the everyday context of home and classroom.

Part C: Children with poor language and social skills may have difficulty initiating and maintaining interactions with their peers, and may find themselves left out and socially isolated. This training will discuss how to provide a physical and social environment that encourages peer interaction.

This training will provide teams with a foundational system enabling them to draw on specific principles to support the application of collaborative problem solving, personal care, and leadership development. We will focus on understanding boundaries which will allow staff to become trauma informed and alleviate explosive and aggressive behaviour and ensure children feel safe and supported. Looking at applying needs principles that will encourage children to overcome challenges and become increasingly independent, happy, and positive. Positive relationships are built on a foundation of values that help staff connect with children and become a positive influence in shaping the community they wish to create. Participants can expect to take away strategies and learnings in behaviour escalation/de-escalation, profile strategy zones of regulation profile strategy, needs assessment, values assessment, social and emotional learning strategies.
