Episode 15-How to Advocate on Behalf of Kids Who have Behavior Challenges with guest Kim Hopkins
On this week’s episode of Embracing Your Season, host Paige Clingenpeel is joined by Kim Hopkins who is the director of outreach and communications for Lives in the Balance. Lives in the Balance is Dr. Ross Greene’s non-profit organization which teaches parents, caregivers, and teachers how to advocate on behalf of kids who have behavior challenges in hopes of changing the system and making sure everyone is getting what they need.
Paige’s Takeaways:
Step 1. Gather information. Why are our kids doing what they are doing? It’s usually because they are not equipped to solve the problem at hand. What is causing the tension? If we allow them to express their feelings and concerns, we can work without kids to solve the problem.
Step 2. What is our perspective? Why do we want peace in our home? Share with our kids our expectations and perspectives.
Step 3. Come back together and invite our children to actually tell us to help alleviate the problem, solve the problem, and come to a mutual conclusion of what works best for all involved.
