SST Evening Overview Dates and Potential Topics for 2008:

NEGOTIATION GENERATION
Take Back Your Parental Authority Without Punishment!

WHETHER YOU’RE RAISING TODDLERS OR TEENAGERS—
SOME BEHAVIORS ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE
Wednesday January 16th, 2007

Once upon a time, parents were parents and children were children. Today, our fast paced lives and changes in the popular culture have children claiming more independence than they can handle.  Parents are losing their authority, negotiating with their children about everything from what to wear to school to when to go to bed at night.  All this negotiating is exhausting and it doesn’t teach children how to handle the intense pressure to grow up too quickly.  

Lynne Reeves Griffin helps you reclaim your position of authority with a proactive approach to raising your children. By establishing clear boundaries for what is and isn’t acceptable behavior, you’ll win the tug-of-war with your children—and forge a stronger, more loving bond because of it.  

• Influence your children’s behavior—without controlling it
• Predict and prevent challenging behavior
• Let go of time-outs, groundings, spankings, and other punishments
• Teach by example—show and tell your children how you expect them to behave

With true stories from more than twenty years of parent counseling, the author reveals the real struggles parents face in raising today’s children—and tells you how to step out of the negotiation generation and step back into control.

Lynne Reeves Griffin is the author of Negotiation Generation: Take Back Your Parental Authority Without Punishment (Penguin, 2007) and the novel, Life Without Summer to be published in winter 2009 by St Martin’s Press.  She lectures, writes, and consults with parents, teachers and health care professionals about issues affecting families and is a frequent radio and television guest expert. Lynne lives with her husband and two children in Massachusetts.  For more about Lynne’s work, visit her website www.LynneGriffin.com.

Sensory Integration Intensive Training:

South Shore Therapies prides itself on our knowledgeable, talented therapists and state of the art therapy environment.  We recognize that finding hands on training to improve assessment and intervention skills can be challenging.  That is why we are active in student training and are developing programs to allow therapists to work with our staff on site at South Shore Therapies.  This summer we will be offering a week long sensory integration training called:  Sensory Integration Intensive from August 13-17, 2007. Course registration is limited to eight participants who have knowledge and experience in sensory integration and would like active mentoring in hands on treatment techniques.  For more information contact us at info@southshoretherapies.com.
