You cannot reason with someone who is being unreasonable.

When a child is disregulated - is the time parents need to be regulated.

Hurt people hurt people.

"Cutting" is a visible sign to the world that you are hurting.

It's more effective to reward your child for being "good" (appropriate) than to punish him for being "bad" (inappropriate).

Being a parent of a teenager can cure a person of narcissism.

"To be a man, a boy must see a man."  (J.R. Moehringer)

If you are headed in the wrong direction as a parent - you are allowed to make a U-turn.

Good parenting requires sacrifice. Childhood lasts for only a few brief years , but it should be given priority while it is passing before your eyes

The best inheritance  parents can give their children is a few minutes of their time each day.

Behaviour Management Workshop

I will be presenting a 2 evening, 6 hour workshop on Behaviour Management at the Woodstock campus of Fanshawe College on September 20 and 27 from 6:30 to 9:30. This workshop is suitable for parents, teachers, daycare staff, social workers, etc. I will be introducing you to the skills, techniques and strategies required to assess and manage a wide range of behavioural problems (examples: aggression, destruction, noncompliance, swearing, school problems, curfew problems, sibling squabbling, etc). You will learn how to determine the underlying causes of the inappropriate behaviours, develop logical interventions and establish a monitoring system to evaluate progress.

Contact the Woodstock campus of Fanshawe College to register -(519) 421-0144

Parents' Comments

“Our psychiatrist recommended Rick to help us sort out behaviour management issues for our autistic son. He was an invaluable help.”
