Managing Challenging Behaviour in Preschoolers and Young Children (up to age 7)
Managing misbehaviour can be a challenge – especially when you have a child with cancer or another chronic or life-threatening health condition. This presentation will address building a strong relationship with your child, helping your child handle adversity, setting rules and routines, encouraging behaviour you like, and understanding and managing misbehaviour. We will discuss typical development and special considerations for children who are on treatment or post-treatment, as well as their siblings.
