Helping Kids find their Voice: Strategies for Manipulation, Lying, and Verbal Aggression

Sponsoring Organization: Interior Community Services

Date: February 13th, 2025

Time: 9:00am-12:00pm PT, 12:00-3:00pm ET

Location: Virtual

Description: Manipulation, verbal aggression, and lying are all protection-behaviors with one big thing in common: the person is struggling to use accurate words that truly reflect their needs in that moment.
In this training, we will explore ways to scaffold our kids’ ability to use words to reflect their accurate needs and feelings.
No, we aren’t going to tell them to “use their words” but with practice, we can make attempts to hear what they are really trying to say and respond to THAT.
We can also be strategic about scaffolding their development of this skill during times their owl brain is more engaged.
