Family Dynamics- Parenting a Child with TS and Associated Disorders
New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome presents no-cost webinar to families on March 3rd
Somerville, NJ, February 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Families of children with Tourette Syndrome and it's associated conditions including ADHD, OCD, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression and rage are encouraged to attend a free webinar on March 3rd presented by the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome and Associated Disorders from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. ET.
One of the great challenges in parenting a child with TS is figuring out how to deal with misbehavior. Common questions parents of special needs children include "Should we take a strict approach where there are clear consequences for misbehavior?" ; "Should we focus only on rewarding positive behaviors?" and "Do we set firm boundaries or try and be flexible and negotiate?" Dr. Robert Zambrano will focus on acknowledging the challenges that parents encounter in finding a way to blend multiple approaches to dealing with behavioral problems into a cohesive package.
Dr. Zambrano received his Bachelors of Science from East Stroudsburg University, and his Masters of Psychology and Doctorate of Clinical Psychology from the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University.
Dr. Zambrano is a clinician at the NJCTS Tourette Syndrome program at Rutgers University. He is also in private practice with Stress and Anxiety Services of New Jersey in East Brunswick. He specializes in working with children and adults with Tourette Syndrome, OCD, depression, and other anxiety disorders. He is also certified to work with patients who have been diagnosed with trichotillomania and other body-focused repetitive behaviors by the Trichotillomania Learning Center.
