Raising Capable Problem Solvers, Tuesday, September 8, 15, 22, and 29 7:00 – 8:00 pm
VIRTUAL caregiver training
Children struggle to solve problems because they lack underlying developmental skills such as impulse control, flexible thinking, perspective taking, language, emotional regulation, or executive functioning. We need to distinguish between 'won't' and 'can't' and coach the missing skill.
By the end of this course, you'll know how to turn everyday conflicts into opportunities that build your child's confidence, character, and problem-solving skills—so you can step back as your child steps up.
