3 ModulesChillax
So many responses to childhood behavior problems, (e.g., off-task, disruptive, aggressive, unmotivated) fail to plan for the long-haul. The Chillax Program is tailor made to not only help with immediate concerns, but provide support and instruction for the days and weeks that follow. Let Chillax and his universe of heroes and villains help teach kids (grades K-6) coping and social skills that last.
Training Introduction
Here’s the thing: School teams and parents need support and they need it now. We really don’t have much time at all when a child decides to punch someone in the face, pee on the playground, or vandalize the bathroom. Teams and parents need tools for the immediate aftermath of the problem and ongoing instruction to prevent the behavior from happening again. Teams and parents need a hero! Say hello to Chillax…
Module 1: Teaching Replacement Behaviors Right Now
In the universe of childhood behavior problems, there are two competing behaviors. There are the bad behaviors and there are the good behaviors. You know, bad guys and good guys. Heroes and villains. In this module we learn how to build hero behaviors and provide consequences for villain behaviors.
Module 2: Coping Skills and Coping Comics
Now that we’ve got visual representations for behaviors we want to see increase (heroes) and behaviors we want to see decrease (villains), lets see how these dynamics play out in a comic book universe! A comic book universe where mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills are the greatest superpowers in the galaxy!
