Families Together, Inc. Monday Memo
Can We "MAKE" Kids Behave?

Lee Stickle, Kansas Instructional Support Network,

will show us how to teach children how to manage their own behavior, rather than punishing.  We will learn how to support children and youth to make good decisions and learn that they alone control their behavior.  Lee will also help us understand that behavior is a result of more than one person's actions and that we often support the very behavior we would like to eliminate. Join us on December 4, 2010 in Topeka for this workshop and others!
