Think Differently: A
New Approach for Understanding and Helping Children with Challenging Behavior
WhenTue, April 3, 7pm – 9pm
Where Room 103, Hingham High School (map)
Larry Epstein, Ph.D.,
Director of School-Based Services at Think:Kids, will give an overview of the
Think:Kids program. Think:Kids teaches a revolutionary, evidence-based approach
for helping children with behavioral challenges. Through training, support and
clinical services, it promotes the understanding that challenging kids lack the
skill, not the will, to behave well – specifically skills related to problem
solving, flexibility and frustration tolerance. Unlike traditional models of
discipline, the approach avoids the use of power, control and motivational
procedures and instead focuses on teaching at-risk kids the skills they need to
succeed.
