About this Course

Course Description

This course is a 6-hour online continuing education (CE) course that teaches communication skills for use with young clients and for parents to use with their own children.

Healthy professional and personal relationships rely heavily on effective and respectful communication skills. Professionals and parents can benefit from enhancing their repertoire of communication techniques to improve the quality of relationships with families and children who have communication skills deficits. The competent use of language can increase young clients’ self-esteem, motivate them to learn, engage their willing cooperation, defuse power struggles, and teach conflict resolution skills.

The purpose of this course is to teach clinicians and parents effective and practical communication and conversational skills to use in the classroom, in one-on-one situations, at home with children and their families. Using these strategies, participants will be better prepared to manage difficult situations conversations, creating a more peaceful work or home life.
