Description
Parenting Philosophies for the Modern LSL Child
This session
will navigate popular modern parenting philosophies, such as Montessori and
RIE, through a listening and spoken language (LSL) framework. Participants will
explore what may conflict with LSL principles, while also discovering strengths
of each philosophy to apply to intervention. Respect for parenting preferences
is encouraged while also aligning with current LSL research.
During this session, participants will:
- Effectively counsel families on how to uphold the principles of their chosen parenting philosophy, while still integrating LSL strategies and providing the communication opportunities their deaf and hard of hearing child needs to thrive with spoken language.
- Gain a deeper understanding of the intent behind each targeted parenting philosophy’s core beliefs.
- Recognize the areas within each philosophy that seemingly conflict with LSL principles, and discuss how each parenting philosophy can still coexist with LSL intervention, given some adaptation.
Effective behavior management extends beyond simply eliciting cooperation during listening and spoken language intervention sessions and is critical to a child’s overall social-emotional development. This session will identify the neurodevelopmental etiology behind behaviors, such as tantrums, that are viewed as undesirable. The most impactful positive discipline strategies for long-term success will be explored.
During this session, participants will:
- Describe the neurodevelopmental source of behaviors such as tantrums and explain why behavior problems may be more prevalent in deaf and hard of hearing children.
- Identify why some traditional behavior management strategies (time out, ignoring, bribes, threats etc.) are ineffective long-term.
- Describe alternative behavior management strategies following positive discipline principles that are both practical and actionable during listening and spoken language intervention.
