• Learn the causes of violence in children
• Learn how to begin to deal with our "toxic" culture
Description:
Who can explain the Littleton, Colorado and other tragedies in which children have been murdered by other children in their schools? And yet, as mental health professionals, people turn to us for answers. The prevalence of violence in our schools is a national tragedy and a national embarrassment. In this series of tapes, the listener will hear national experts discuss the causes of violence in children and how to begin to deal with our "toxic" culture, how to manage engaging parents and assessing violence in children, how to work with families of murder victims and prevent compassion fatigue, and how to teach skills for dealing with aggressive, bullying children. We first interviewed James Garborino, Ph.D. Psychology, after the first group of high school shootings. We have reproduced that interview for you here. And now we have returned to him a second time, following the Littleton, Colorado shootings, to see if he had any additional thoughts to share with us, which he does.
