When ACT is just the first step
Our Planting Seeds Course helps you to plant the seeds of self-control. But it takes a long time to grow an Oak tree and get acorns. While your child learns from your new way of interacting, they may make decisions that are unacceptable to you and others. This course helps you to respond in these situations with calm, supporting continued growth in making good choices. 1: When ACT is just the first step. Our first video orients you to this course, reviewing Planting Seeds, and giving you an overview of the rest of the course. 2: It Doesn't Work! How we evaluate discipline with our specific kids. We learn how to evaluate discipline focusing on specific types of discipline and how they appear to work. 3: You can't give away what you don't possess. Parents need skills to remain calm and in their thinking brain while in the middle of intense situations. Learn skills here that can help! 4: The Choice Muscle Learn the mechanics of choice and develop a discipline plan.
