PRESCRIPTIONS FOR PREVENTING POWER STRUGGLES In this training, participants will learn the definition of power struggles and the many practices that they can utilize to prevent power struggles. They will examine their own backgrounds so that they can understand how their own thinking might make them more susceptible to being in a power struggle.

Participants will understand that power struggles are an attempt by a child to meet a need and that all behavior is a form of communication. Participants are introduced to two methods for dealing with power struggles. We also talk about the importance of forgiving yourself when you make mistakes or if you happen to get pulled into a power struggle.

HOW DO WE BUILD READING LOVE? Building a love of reading begins early in children and it starts with the adults in their lives. As educators, we must give the instructional components in order to take our children from emergent literacy to the developing literacy stage to give them that love.
