Can We "MAKE" Kids Behave?
|
|
Lee Stickle,
Kansas Instructional Support Network,
will show us how to teach children how
to manage their own behavior, rather than punishing. We will learn
how to support children and youth to make good decisions and learn that
they alone control their behavior. Lee will also help us understand
that behavior is a result of more than one person's actions and that we
often support the very behavior we would like to eliminate. Join us on
December 4, 2010 in Topeka for this workshop and others!
