Description:

Lakes Region General Hospital cordially invites parents, teachers, special educators, coaches, and the medical community to attend a free public lecture offered by veteran child and family therapist Dr. Bert Whetstone. 

 

Childhood difficulties challenge adults in many ways: learning style differences, aggression and sadness, refusal to comply, impulsive behavior, drugs, distrust, lack of focus, negative attitudes.  Sometimes parents and teachers wonder, “Who’s in charge here?"

Over a five-week period following the free public lecture, Dr. Whetstone presents a series of interactive workshops based on his 360º Model for Dealing with Learning and Emotional Difficulties in Families, Classrooms and Communities.  The model emphasizes bringing together all parts of a child’s world, to foster appreciation for challenges across environments, and to develop mutually positive plans.    

 

Educational Objectives: 

 

Dr. Whetstone uses interactive discussions, powerpoint, handouts, and role-plays to promote:

 

·        The child’s view of the world.

·        Empathy with the difficult child and among team members

·        Child-family-teacher-community teamwork.

·        System-wide communication and cooperation.

·        Efficient learning using internal and external environments.

·        Trust agreements about positive and negative behavior.

·        Assessment of medication pros, cons, and effects.

·        Useful, cooperative, team-building IEP’s and 504 plans.
