Guiding Children's Behavior

Guiding children as they grow and mature is an ongoing process. The approaches parents use to guide and discipline their children play a significant role in their children’s development. In this workshop, participants will:

• Become familiar with techniques for reducing the frequency of misbehavior in children.
• Practice differentiating between styles of parenting and assess their own parenting style.
• Learn how to positively guide their children and help them develop self-control.

This workshop was developed by Mary Engram, Human Development Regional Specialist.
