Does this sound familiar? You ask your child or teen to do something, and it ends with opposition, aggression, or apathy to your request? Power struggles typically do not end well. They create distance and hostility instead of closeness and trust. Where do power struggles come from and what are our kids/teens trying to achieve?
In this workshop, parents/caregivers learn specific strategies to respond to challenging behavior in a way that is intended to prevent escalation and conflict of power, techniques to deescalate power struggles including restorative practices techniques, and how we can transform power struggles, so our kids/teens learn important life skills including self-discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and problem-solving skills. Available in Spanish. Workshop Length: 1 hour
