Christi Bostwick – Anxiety and Disruptive Behaviors in Children – AESATT
Description
Children’s behavior sometimes just does not make sense. They may behave great at school and then trash the house when they get home. They may wake at night with terrors even though nothing disruptive seems to be going on during the day. Nice parents with out of control kids are difficult to figure out.
Dr. Bostwick has worked with children and their parents for over 25 years conducting research and providing cognitive behavioral solutions to even the most puzzling behavior. Common childhood milestones can become challenging if a child doesn’t behave as we would expect. Dr. Bostwick will show you how anxiety and unexpected behavior can be a side effect of other problems you may not have considered. Kids with baffling behavior are often resistant to tried and true treatment options for anxiety and behavior disorders.
Watch Dr. Bostwick, who has done the hard work for you, in this recording! She’ll share developmentally appropriate considerations and techniques on how to proceed with highly sensitive childhood behavior:
- Suicidal five-year-old
- Child running the household and parents walking on eggshells
- 3-year-old who has just been kicked out of her second daycare
- 6-year-old tells you they hear voices or see things that are not there
Dr. Bostwick will help you create real and positive long term change that promotes healthy development from childhood into adolescence and beyond! Don’t miss an opportunity to learn from her.
