SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Parenting Teens\, Part 5
DESCRIPTION:     At the core of supporting a youth in your care is understanding their history and story\, as we have explored in the first Parenting Teens trainings. Part 5 and Part 6 are an in-depth look at understanding and managing challenging behaviors.\n     This training focuses on the strategies that come into play in everyday situations. The session begins with an evaluation of your own emotional responses to posed situations\, with the intent of leading you through coping skills that will help you manage those emotions in critical times. You will then look at ways to respond to a youth’s rejecting\, testing and challenging behaviors\, and ways trauma factors into those situations. The focus of this section is that strong relationships are essential\, and nurturing attachment plays a key role in parenting.\n     A large portion of this course focuses on positive behavior management strategies\, grounded in the idea that the focus of trauma-informed parenting is teaching skills not punishing for behaviors that aren’t intentional. You will learn a wide variety of techniques that will help you respond effectively in challenging situations.\n     Finally\, you will be led through trouble-shooting of a potential relationship under stress\, and will learn indicators of that. This is important because positive relationships are foundational to empowering youth. Something as simple as conversation can do a lot to build trust and safety.\n\n\nThe “Parenting Teens” series comprises seven parts for prospective and current foster\, adoptive\, kinship and guardian parents who are or will be raising older children from foster care who have moderate to severe emotional and behavioral challenges. \nEach part should be taken in order.  \nSpecial Instructions:\n\nThe “Parenting Teens” series comprises seven parts for prospective and current foster\, adoptive\, kinship and guardian parents who are or will be raising older children from foster care who have moderate to severe emotional and behavioral challenges. Each part should be taken in order. This course is from the CORE Teen curriculum that was developed through a 3-year cooperative agreement with the Children’s Bureau.

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Parenting Teens\, Part 6
DESCRIPTION:At the core of supporting a youth in your care is understanding their history and story\, as we have explored in the first Parenting Teens trainings. Part 5 and Part 6 are an in-depth look at understanding and managing challenging behaviors.\n    This training focuses on the strategies needed to handle more severe behavioral challenges or crises. You will first get an overview of intellectual and developmental disabilities\, including definitions and strategic guidance. The training then moves into a look at high-risk behaviors – what they look like\, what might cause them and appropriate responses. It’s important to understand the root of these actions so that the emphasis remains on positive communication and connectedness\, as well as keeping the teen safe. You will participate in discussions around how these behaviors present and what you can do to build a healthy dynamic with your youth.\n     When dealing with more severe behaviors\, it may be necessary to develop a safety plan or consult external services. The purpose of a safety plan is to help you and the youth proactively think through areas of high risk and collaborate on the steps that need to be taken to keep everyone safe. Professional supports may also help\, and the course will take you through several things to think about when considering treatment\, including cultural appropriateness.\n      Upon completion of this training\, you will have multiple tools to help you successfully manage these behaviors\, as well as an understanding of how to access the support system for yourself and your youth.\n\n\nThe “Parenting Teens” series comprises seven parts for prospective and current foster\, adoptive\, kinship and guardian parents who are or will be raising older children from foster care who have moderate to severe emotional and behavioral challenges. \nEach part should be taken in order.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial Instructions:\n\nThe “Parenting Teens” series comprises seven parts for prospective and current foster\, adoptive\, kinship and guardian parents who are or will be raising older children from foster care who have moderate to severe emotional and behavioral challenges.

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Why Children Lie:  Development\, Trauma\, and Supporting the Truth
DESCRIPTION:Lying is a complex\, layered behavior that involves both the person telling the lie and the perception of the person receiving it\, as well as each person’s history and development. Surprised it’s not so black and white? This training will take you through understanding what lying is\, why it happens and how to support the truth. \n“Why Children Lie” addresses lying on several levels. You will look at your own attitude about lying and how your values and beliefs affect that perception. The course will cover what lying looks like in different stages of development and what the motivating factors may be for a child. You will also talk about the societal norms around lying and how to support a child telling the truth. You will learn how to set a child up for being truthful through positive communication\, and how to make changes to your own behavior and responses. \nThe impact of trauma is a big part of this training\, too\, as trauma and other diagnoses impact the ability to be truthful. You will talk about how lying can be a trauma response and what you can do to change the pattern. \nWhen you leave the class\, you will have a deeper understanding of how to respond to children when they lie and how to prevent lying. \nRegistration Instructions:\n\n\n\nUnder Select Your Class below\, click on the Classes Available button\nFind the training you wish to attend and click Register Now\nIf you are not already logged in (profile required)\, enter your Username and Password and click Log In\nClick the large blue Register for this class button at the right\nYou are now registered!
