Logical consequences as positive parenting
2022-04-25 10:00 - 11:00 | Zoom
Join the CCC for Logical Consequences as Positive Parenting, presented by Elin MacKinnon, LCSW. In this brief training we will review the differences between natural consequences, logical consequences, and punishment when used as behavior management strategies with children. We’ll take a quick look at the evidence for using the logical consequences approach. We’ll spend the remainder of the time talking about real examples and ideas on how to apply this strategy to those situations. This training could be a helpful introduction to using this technique as a parent, and service providers may find it helpful to better understand the use of logical consequences when offering behavior management suggestions for parents they work with.
