NDSU Extension Parent and Family Education Webinar

Rethinking Challenging Behaviors with the Brain in Mind. In this talk, Dr. Bryson brings her No-Drama Discipline perspective to everyday parenting challenges. She reframes discipline to mean teaching skills and helps parents understand what children’s behavior is really communicating. By “chasing the why” behind behavior and using day to day moments to effectively help kids become self-disciplined, parents will discover how combining nurture and structure supports regulation, builds skills, and strengthens relationships. When adults respond with curiosity and connection, combined with limits and rules—rather than fear or force—behavior changes, conflicts become opportunities for building the brain, and connection deepens. Complete with a little brain science, candid stories, practical tools, and a great deal of compassion and humor, this talk helps parents work with their child’s developing brain while setting clear, consistent limits.

CEUs available for ND counselors, occupational therapists, and social workers.
