Why this course?

Why Do Children Misbehave?

This course draws from many existing theories and popular parenting books to give an answer. We will present misbehavior through a Control-Mastery lens to help understand the underlying goals of children’s misbehavior. We will discuss the Control-Mastery concept of testing and how to help parents respond in a case-specific way to their child’s misbehavior.

This course is for clinicians and graduate students, not for non-practicing caregivers.

This course will cover:

Describe some of the underlying goals of misbehavior in children and adolescents.

Describe ways in which you can utilize information from misbehavior in therapy from a CMT perspective.

Discuss the concept of testing in children and adolescents.
