Taming Temper Tantrums (online class)
Just for Parents

Is all that stomping, yelling and thrashing starting to wear you out? Learn to better understand your child's temperament and how that can impact behavior, especially tantrums. Discussions on parenting strategies for coping with temper tantrums and ways to help your child develop self-control and manage their strong emotions. Online discussion classes include a scheduled live chat on with a parent educator, video clips and/or articles (quick reads, nothing too lengthy or daunting). The parent educator will ask reflective thoughts/insights of the participants and will check-in throughout the week to respond to parents' comments to further enhance the discussion. Participants are encouraged to respond to each other with their own experiences. While it is always best to be available for the live chat, we understand that life can get in the way so participants can log on for content at times that are convenient to them and be a part of the discussion board and reflective thoughts/insights.
