PEPS Follow-up Event: The Art of Effective Communication with Adolescents

PEPS provided this resource page to their event.

Susanna Strode from Ryther provided these resources:

  • Lives in the Balance - Collaborative and Proactive Solutions to Parenting

    • “Concerning behavior is not the result of poor parenting, faulty learning, or poor motivation. In this section, you’ll be asked to try on some new lenses so that you have a more accurate, compassionate understanding of a child’s concerning behavior.”

  • Drilling Cheat Sheet provides an overview of the drilling strategies that can be used to gather information in the Empathy step of Plan B.

  • Plan B - Solving problems collaboratively and proactively with a student not only helps solve the problems that are causing challenging behavior but also helps them build the skills they are lacking. - empathy, concerns, invitation

PEPS is also organizing a number of 4 to 9-week Parenting Adolescents & Teens (PAT) groups for parents of kids aged 10-19 (paid, flexible pricing)
