Small Group Dinosaur Child Social Skills Group Leader Training (ages 3-6) (Treatment)
This 3-day workshop will present in depth the Dina Dinosaur Child Social Skills, Emotional Regulation & Problem Solving Training for Children designed by Dr. Webster-Stratton to help young children who have behaviour problems. The program focuses on ways to promote children’s emotional literacy, anger management, appropriate conflict management strategies, expected classroom behaviours, and positive social skills or friendship behaviours with other children and adults.
The workshop will cover methods for working with small groups of children including role-play, rehearsal, video and live modelling, group discussion and small group activities. The intervention program is appropriate for use by therapists with small groups of children with behaviour problems either in mental health centres as “pull out” programs in schools. The program has been shown to be effective in four randomised control group studies with families of children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder.
This curriculum uses Webster-Stratton’s book Incredible Teachers: Nurturing Children’s Social, Emotional and Academic Competence as the companion book for therapists
