Common Sense Parenting Vol 3 Preventing Problem Behavior DVD

Teach your kids to get along with others by learning important social skills they can use at home, at school and in the greater community. Kids can avoid problems by practicing better ways to handle difficult or unfamiliar situations. Many misbehaviors can be prevented or reduced by teaching children the behaviors you want them to use instead. On this DVD you'll see the Common Sense Parenting® technique of Preventive Teaching, showing children what they need to do and say in a future situation and practicing it in advance. Often, what you need to teach a child is an appropriate social skill - how to follow instructions, how to accept "no" for an answer, how to share - to replace the problem behavior.The key to preventing problems is teaching before a potential problem situation occurs, when both you and your child are calm. Preparing children by helping them learn social and life skills not only helps prevent disruptive behavior, but can also save them from experiencing awkward, embarrassing, or even dangerous situations.
