WORKSHOPS

We are excited to announce that Novo is planning the following parent based workshops for Fall 2024! Please click on the topic of interest and sign up with your name/email if you would like to attend. We will send you details as the workshop date and time become finalized.

Parent Behavior Management:

For parents of young children, ages 2-8, who are struggling with defiance, difficulties getting through daily routines, arguing, poor frustration tolerance, frequent/intense tantrums, and verbal/physical aggression. This workshop is also helpful for these behaviors that may be related to early symptoms of ADHD. In this workshop, parents will learn the following:

 

  • how to structure an effective environment to encourage calm, regulated emotions in their child

  • consistent daily schedules that promote compliance

  • ways to interact with children through positive parenting techniques

  • effective strategies for discipline

  • how to manage overwhelming tantrums

  • when medication and/or assessment and follow up with an individual therapist may be necessary

 

Parenting Anxious Children:

Based on Eli Lebowitz's SPACE parent-based program (Supportive Parent for Anxious Childhood Emotions), this workshop provides psychoeducation on how parents can support and reduce clinical anxiety in their children through the following skills:

 

1) understanding the parent role in the avoidance/escape cycle of anxiety disorders

2) how to teach/coach your anxious child without reassuring or giving in

3) how a parent may unknowingly accommodate or reinforce a child's fears

4) how to engage in effective exposures

5) managing child pushback/resistance to anxiety-provoking situations
