Understanding Noncompliance (Advanced Parenting Workshop)

This Advanced Parenting Workshop introduces the spectrum of cooperation and noncompliance, and explores how trauma can affect a child's ability to cooperate. Two family studies are presented and, with the help of Dr. Delaney and his teaching assistant, participants use the Trauma-Sensitive Review Form to understand the children's behavior.

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

• understand the differences between cooperation and noncompliance
• identify where a child's response to a request falls on the spectrum of cooperation and noncompliance
• recognize the four defining signs of complex trauma
• describe the seven aftereffects of complex trauma
• use the Trauma-Sensitive Review Form to understand a child's behavior
• develop ideas for helping a child deal with the aftereffects of trauma
