The I.D.E.A. Strategy for Parenting Challenges – Joshua Metz, LCSW
I.D.E.A. (which stands for Investigate, Describe, Empathize and Act), is a parenting strategy to help parents deal with challenging behavior, episodes of distress, or situations that impact the daily flow of life. With I.D.E.A., parents can be more thoughtful in their approach to their children, be less reactive and more reflective in what they do, and turn what could be just another tantrum or fight into an opportunity to teach your child how to take in a situation, figure out what is going on, look at it from different perspectives, and come to a more informed decision. This parent training will introduce the I.D.E.A. strategy and how to use each step in the model.
