Understanding and Responding to Kids with Emotional & Behavioral
Challenges using a Positive, Strength-Based Approach
Written primarily for professionals, volunteers and parents who guide kids with emotional and behavioral challenges, the revised edition of No Such Thing As a Bad Kid is packed with positive, trauma-informed, strength-based principles and techniques that help child-guiders to develop powerful and transforming relationships with the kids they guide. This empowering handbook opens by portraying misbehavior as a call for help. It then guides the reader through “decoding” the message and, via hundreds of hands-on tips, sample dialogues, and inspiring anecdotes into research-backed approaches for revolutionizing interactions with kids at risk. The book is all about changing the negative mindsets many kids harbor and giving them hope for better days. Even parents of children not at risk will benefit from this book.
Please join SEPAC for this free event. For more information about Charlie Appelstein and “No Such Thing as a Bad
Kid" visit www.charliea.com
