    SPARK! Help Me Get Unstuck! Emotion-Focused and Problem-Focused Coping Skills for School-Age Children- Live Webinar


    June 29, 2022

    Without healthy coping skills, children are likely to act out—essentially sending a message that says, “I feel out of control so I’m going to act out of control.” School-Age children who don’t know how to deal with their feelings also are more likely to turn to unhealthy coping strategies. This training will focus on how to recognize frustration behaviors in school-age children and how to model coping skills for school-age children.
