• Handling tantrums and defiance
• Building positive behaviors and social skills
• Using effective praise and encouragement
• Coping with parenting stress and building confidence

Sessions are held online via HIPAA-compliant Zoom from 4:00–5:00 PM, beginning October 1, 2026, with seven sessions running through December 3. The group is facilitated by Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellows Jennifer Kim, DO, and Victoria Peruski, DO, along with Emily Sportsman, PhD, LP, NCSP.
