The Basic Dinosaur School
Programme for Small Group Therapy
This two-day course provides
basic training in delivering the child training therapeutic “Dinosaur
School” Programme. This programme employs strategies to promote children’s
non-aggressive ways to solve common conflicts, appropriate classroom behaviours,
and positive social skills with other children and adults. The workshop will
cover how to teach children to understand feelings, problem-solve, control
of anger, learn how to teach children to be friendly and how to talk with
friends, and how to do their best at school. The intervention programme is
appropriate for use by clinicians with small groups of children with behaviour
problems (from pre-school to eight years old). Attending this workshop is
the first step in becoming a certified group leader. Ideally participants
will have already attended the basic parent group leader programme or will
be familiar with the principles underpinning the parenting programme.
The Incredible Years
Programmes, for parents, children and teachers, have been developed by Prof.
Webster-Stratton over the past twenty years. They were initially developed
as programmes for clinically referred children and subsequently as preventive
programmes.
Dr. Hutchings is a Consultant
Clinical Psychologist with a specialist responsibility for services to children
with disruptive behaviour problems. She also works at the University where
she undertakes research and teaching in the area of parenting. Her interest
and experience in this field has been developed over the last 25 years and
she has run many programmes for parents and children. Recently she has been
developing use of the Webster-Stratton Incredible Years programmes in North
Wales and has run the basic and advanced parenting programmes and the child
dinosaur programme.
