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
