Clinical Approaches to Challenging Boys: Temperament, Executive Functioning, and Family Systems Work with Dr. Timothy Davis

Learning Objectives:

Describe how an Emergency Plan supports parents in remaining calm and nonreactive during meltdowns, tantrums, refusals, and other challenging behaviors, and demonstrate how to guide parents in developing Emergency Plans tailored to their child’s specific triggers and behavior patterns.
Explain how challenging behaviors are commonly linked to deficits in emotion regulation and executive functioning rather than willfulness or defiance, and assist parents in identifying specific skills their child needs to strengthen to increase resilience and coping capacity.
Describe and apply three relational ratios in clinical work with parents.
Differentiate among the three tools of discipline—punishments, rewards, and coaching—and analyze how each tool requires different levels of trust and goal alignment. Participants will also be able to guide parents in selecting the most appropriate tool for their unique situation.
