Our workshops are designed to focus on one of the specific themes and come right out of the Redirecting Children’s Behavior (RCB) course. The course “A Fresh Approach for Understanding Bullies” is a combination of the concepts in RCB and the The Power of TED*. Each of these workshops can be completed in 30 to 45 minutes and allow ample time for closing comments or question and answer sessions.
We offer these workshops often as an introduction to the powerful and effective content in the Redirecting Children’s Behavior 5-week, 12-hour course. They can be offered for a nominal fee as a fund-raiser for your school, PTA, daycare or other family focused organization.
