Parent-Deaf Child Encounter 2014: Appreciation

 

Catch your Deaf child being “GOOD.”  It’s easy to take for granted what we approve of, and hard to ignore what we don’t like. This makes it easy to neglect opportunities to praise good behavior and focus on bad behavior. Let your child feel and see your approval. Turn ‘no’ statements into ‘yes’ statements.

Our goals for this session are:

  1. To help parents and child to understand the why, how and who of appreciation;

 2. To examine relationships among behavior problems, language, parent–child interaction, and sustained attention.
