Confident Carers Cooperative Kids

The participants learn how to use praise and rewards effectively as well as learning how to give clear and effective instructions. Throughout the course of the group, participants gain insight around how consistent, attachment rich responses, and activities can limit the incidence of misbehaviour.

The program aims to reduce problem behaviour by focusing on improving:

  • The consistency of responses to misbehaviour
  • The effectiveness of praise and rewards when re-enforcing appropriate behaviour
  • The effectiveness of clear instructions when setting necessary limits on behaviour
  • The parent-child relationship through the use of play and other positive activities
  • The use of preventative strategies (i.e.: ignoring, redirecting and avoiding arguments) that limit the causes and maintenance of misbehaviour

The Confident Carers Cooperative Kids program is a targeted behaviour management program created by Mark Donovan and Greg Konza.

Confident Carers Cooperative Kids is an 8 week program that aims to increase parent’s skills in developing strategies that limit the cause of difficult behaviours for children 5 to 11 years. This is achieved by focussing on improving the parent–child relationship through play, praise and other positive activities.
