As a child and family therapist\, I have experienced this challenge in my work with difficult children and their parents. I can also relate to this problem\, as I have many of the personality dynamics that can lead to challenging behaviors in children. This is why I have spent over a decade trying to understand these children and\, most importantly\, which parenting interventions are most effective in helping them. Indeed\, my doctoral research suggests that children who face the most severe challenges are the least understood because of their differences. \n\n\n\nTo address the behavioral\, learning\, social\, and emotional challenges of children who struggle the most\, I have developed a different approach to understanding and supporting them by working with their parents. This approach works because it uses the neurobiology driven by the parent-child attachment relationship to soothe the child. Parents find that when they understand why their children are acting out\, they are better able to help their children self-regulate\, which in turn helps the parent regain their confidence and reestablish harmony in their home. \n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes:\n\n\n\n1. Understand the source of your child’s challenging behaviors. \n\n\n\n2. Focus on supporting your child’s strengths to reduce their challenges. \n\n\n\n3. Describe the unique personality dynamics of difficult children. \n\n\n\n4. Provide interventions to strengthen the parent-child relationship. \n\n\n\nTrainer Bio:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThedy Veliz\, PhD\, LMFT\, is a child and family therapist in private practice in Los Gatos\, California\, who recently completed his doctorate work at the California Institute of Integral Studies. He primarily works with parents of difficult children to help them understand the source of their children’s behavioral\, learning\, social\, and emotional challenges. This understanding is then used to adjust their parenting interventions to downregulate their children’s sensitive nervous system. Veliz has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering\, a master’s in business administration\, and a master’s in counseling psychology.
