Overview

This one-hour virtual workshop is designed specifically for parents of children ages 2-7 years old. By the end of the workshop, parents will learn evidence-based strategies they can immediately begin practicing in only 5 minutes per day with their child; these strategies have been shown to enhance the parent-child relationship, increase child self-esteem, promote pro-social behaviors, reduce challenging behaviors, and lower parental stress.

Strategies covered in this workshop are drawn from evidence-based interventions with the following treatment outcomes:

• Decreased frequency, severity, and/or duration of tantrums
• Decreased activity levels
• Decreased negative attention-seeking behaviors (such as whining and bossiness)
• Decreased parental frustration
• Increased feelings of security, safety, and attachment to the primary caregiver
• Increased attention span
• Increased self-esteem
• Increased pro-social behaviors (such as sharing and taking turns)
