• Communicate effectively with your child
• Sustain a calm environment
• Foster enhanced social skills
  • Cooperation (working smoothly with others)
  • Assertiveness (confidently putting forth your ideas and opinions)
  • Responsibility (taking charge of yourself and working hard at your learning)
  • Self-control (listening to others and understanding how they might respond to your words and actions)
  • Empathy (listening to others and understanding how they might respond to your words or actions)
• Strategies for discipline – bridging school and home
