Brad Chapin, LCP, creator of the Challenge Software Program for children, presented his innovative, yet practical approach to addressing children's issues to an interactive group of participants at ESSDACK in Hutchinson, Kansas on October 25th.
"You have a gift for breaking down all the research and information out there into something we can understand and use," remarked one participant.
Brad has spent the past few years developing an innovative approach to improving Self-regulation in children, with a solid evidence base in Cognitive-behavioral psychology. Self-regulation is related to many of the issues we see children struggling with every day including poor academic achievement, social interaction and emotional control.
The main idea is to use creative strategies, often involving technology, to engage children quickly and teach them the skills necessary for healthy Self-regulation. Brad is sensitive to the time and budget constraints of the current economy and has approached these difficult issue with this question in mind:
"If you only had 5 or 10 minutes to spend with a child, what would be the most important skill you could teach them?"
