How do I know if this workshop is right for my child's specific behavioural issues?

Our workshops are designed to address a wide range of common behavioural issues, including tantrums, defiance, aggression, sibling rivalry, and challenges related to ADHD or high-functioning autism. The core strategies—positive reinforcement, boundary setting, and communication—are foundational for all children. If you have concerns about very severe or specific behaviours, a [**Comprehensive Assessment**] may be a good first step.

What is the difference between attending a workshop and seeking individual child therapy?

A workshop is an educational program for parents, empowering them with skills to manage behaviour at home. It's a fantastic proactive and preventative tool. Individual therapy is a targeted treatment for the child, often focusing on a specific diagnosis or emotional challenge. Many families find that doing both simultaneously is highly effective, as the workshop helps parents reinforce the skills their child is learning in therapy.

How long are the workshops and what is the schedule like for online courses?

In-person workshops typically run for 4-6 weeks, with one session per week lasting about 90-120 minutes. Our online courses contain the same amount of content, broken down into manageable video modules that you can complete at your own pace over a period of 6-8 weeks.

What makes Cadabam’s parent training for child behavioural issues more effective than other programs?

Our effectiveness comes from three key pillars: **1) The Experts:** You are learning from a multidisciplinary team of practicing clinicians, not just trainers. **2) The Integration:** Our strategies are integrated with proven therapeutic models like ABA and CBT. **3) The Holistic Approach:** We focus not just on the child's behaviour, but on strengthening the parent-child relationship and supporting parent well-being, which is the foundation for lasting change.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion of the course?

Yes, parents who complete the full workshop or online course will receive a certificate of completion from Cadabam’s Child Development Centre, acknowledging their commitment and newly acquired skills.

Is there any follow-up support after the workshop ends?

We offer options for follow-up support, including graduate groups, one-on-one parent coaching sessions, and access to our wider ecosystem of care. We are committed to being your long-term partner in your child's development.

Empowering Parents: Expert-Led Workshops for Behavioural Issues at Cadabam's

A parenting workshop for behavioural issues is a specialized, interactive program designed to equip parents with effective, evidence-based tools and strategies to understand, manage, and positively influence their child's challenging behaviours.

At Cadabam’s Child Development Center, we leverage our 30+ years of expertise in pediatric mental health to offer workshops that transform family dynamics, strengthen parent-child bonding, and build a nurturing, supportive home environment where both children and parents can thrive.

From Surviving to Thriving: Why Cadabam’s Parent Training for Child Behavioural Issues Makes a Difference

When you're facing persistent behavioural challenges with your child, it can feel isolating and overwhelming. You've likely tried everything you can think of, yet the tantrums, defiance, or meltdowns continue. Cadabam’s CDC offers more than just advice; we provide a structured pathway to lasting change. Our parent training for child behavioural issues is designed to empower you with the confidence and skills needed to navigate these challenges effectively.

Beyond Theory: Practical, Hands-On Learning

Our workshops are not passive lectures. They are dynamic, interactive sessions where you learn by doing. We focus on real-world application, allowing you to practice new techniques in a supportive setting. Through role-playing, small group discussions, and problem-solving exercises based on your family's unique situation, you’ll leave with strategies you can implement the very same day.

Led by a Multidisciplinary Team of Experts

The guidance you receive is only as good as the experts providing it. Our workshops are conceptualized and led by a multidisciplinary team of practicing professionals. This includes:

This integrated approach ensures you receive a holistic perspective, grounded in decades of combined clinical experience in child development and behaviour.

A Bridge from Therapy to Home Life

A common struggle for parents is applying the strategies discussed in a therapy session to the chaos of daily life. Our workshops are specifically designed to bridge this gap. We focus on making evidence-based techniques—like those used in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)—practical and accessible for use in the home, at the park, and during difficult transitions, creating consistency and reinforcing positive progress.

A Supportive, Non-Judgmental Community

One of the most powerful aspects of our workshops is the community you join. You'll connect with other parents who understand your struggles because they are living them too. This shared experience fosters a sense of belonging and reduces feelings of isolation. It's a safe, non-judgmental space to ask questions, share successes, and learn from one another under the guidance of our expert facilitators.

Flexible Formats: In-Person and Online Parenting Courses

We understand that every family's schedule and needs are different. That’s why we offer our acclaimed content in multiple formats. Whether you prefer the collaborative energy of an in-person session or the flexibility of an online parenting course for challenging behaviour, we have an option that fits your life.

A Curriculum Designed for Lasting Change: Our Behaviour Management Strategies for Parents Workshop

Our behaviour management strategies for parents workshop is built on a comprehensive curriculum that moves beyond simply "stopping" bad behaviour. We focus on teaching you how to understand the root cause and build your child's skills for a lifetime of better emotional regulation and communication.

Understanding the 'Why' Behind the Behaviour

Challenging behaviour is almost always a form of communication. It's the tip of the iceberg, signalling an unmet need or a lagging skill. We help you look beneath the surface.

Child Development Fundamentals: Understand what is developmentally appropriate for your child's age.
The Function of Behaviour: Learn to identify if a behaviour is seeking attention, avoiding a task, trying to access something tangible, or stemming from sensory overload.
Neurodiversity: Gain insight into how conditions like ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or sensory processing issues can manifest as behavioural challenges.

The Power of Positive Reinforcement and Proactive Strategies

Constant correction and punishment can damage your relationship with your child and are often ineffective long-term. We teach you to shift your focus.

Effective Praise: Learn how to praise effort over outcome and be specific in what you are acknowledging.
Reward Systems: Design simple and effective reward charts or token economies that motivate your child without feeling like a bribe.
Proactive Planning: Learn to anticipate triggers and set your child up for success by modifying the environment or providing support before a challenge arises.

Setting Clear, Consistent Boundaries and Consequences

Children thrive on structure and predictability. It makes them feel safe. A lack of clear boundaries can lead to confusion and testing behaviours.

Age-Appropriate Rules: Learn to establish a few clear, simple, and positive family rules.
Natural & Logical Consequences: Understand the difference between punishment and consequences that teach responsibility. For example, if a child refuses to put on their shoes, the natural consequence is that they can't go to the park until they do.
Consistency is Key: We provide tools for parents to get on the same page and apply rules consistently, which is critical for learning.

De-escalation Techniques for Meltdowns and Tantrums

In the heat of a meltdown, it's easy for parents to become overwhelmed and dysregulated themselves. We give you a playbook to stay calm and help your child navigate their big emotions.

Emotional Regulation for Parents: Learn grounding techniques to manage your own stress so you can respond thoughtfully, not reactively.
Co-regulation Strategies: Discover how to use your calm presence, a soothing tone, and validating language to help your child's nervous system calm down.
Creating a "Calm-Down Corner": Learn how to set up a safe space in your home where your child can go to regulate their emotions with comforting sensory tools.

Improving Communication and Strengthening Your Connection

At the heart of changing behaviour is a strong parent-child relationship built on trust and mutual respect.

Active Listening: Practice listening to understand your child's feelings and perspective, even if you don't agree with their behaviour.
Validating Emotions: Learn to say things like, "I can see you're very angry that screen time is over. It's hard to stop doing something fun." This simple act can diffuse immense tension.
Problem-Solving Together: Shift from a top-down approach to a collaborative one where you and your child work together to solve recurring problems.

Collaborating with Schools and Other Caregivers

Behavioural consistency across all environments is crucial for your child’s success. We provide guidance on how to create a unified team.

Sharing Information Effectively: Learn what key information to share with teachers and how to frame it constructively.
Building a Behaviour Plan: Get a template for creating a simple, shared plan that ensures teachers, grandparents, and other caregivers are using the same language and strategies as you are.
For children needing more structured support, this provides a foundation for our programs.

"The Tantrums Have Reduced by 80%" - The Sharma Family Story

"Our 4-year-old’s tantrums were controlling our lives. We were afraid to go out. The in-person workshop in Bangalore was a game-changer. The 'Why Behind the Behaviour' module was an eye-opener. By learning his triggers and using the positive reinforcement strategies, we’ve seen an 80% reduction in meltdowns. We feel like we have our family back."

"The Online Course Was a Lifesaver" - Mr. Kumar's Experience

"As a single father with a demanding job, I couldn't attend a weekly class. The online parenting course for challenging behaviour was a lifesaver. I could watch the modules after my son was asleep. The de-escalation techniques helped me manage his after-school anger outbursts, and the section on collaborating with his school gave me the confidence to have a productive conversation with his teacher. Highly recommended."

"We Finally Feel Like a Team" - A Note of Thanks

"My husband and I were always disagreeing on discipline. The workshop gave us a shared language and a unified plan. We finally feel like we are on the same team, and our daughter is responding so well to the consistency. Thank you, Cadabam's, for helping us become the parents we wanted to be."
