Join me in Portland, Oregon on Friday, January 13, and Saturday, January 14 for an evening talk and all-day workshop.
It’s hard to get me to leave Hawaii but the Oregon Montessori Association convinced me to share some workshop aloha in Portland.
Would love for you to be there!
Ain’t Misbehavin’
Friday, January 13 from 7 to 9 p.m.
Portland Baha’i Center
8720 N Ivanhoe Street
Portland, OR 97203
In this session we’ll look at how children’s misbehavior is often perceived.
There is an important dynamic, often hidden, that drives human behavior.
When we are involved in conflict with children it may be easy to overlook this motivation.
What is that motivation?
Personal needs.
Children’s actions are judged as misbehaviors when those behaviors come into conflict with the desires of parents and other adults. What we judge or perceive to be misbehaviors are actually a child’s efforts to have their needs met.
In this session you’ll learn…
- Why behavior is need driven.
- How fundamental human needs drive child and adult development.
- Strategies to get to win/win in your relationships with children and others.
With this information you’ll begin to see children’s behavior in a new light, with confidence to implement new relationship building tools.
Join me for an inspiring evening to strengthen your relationships with children.
Cost: $25 per ticket
2 hours of professional development available
