The Raising a Thinking Child Workgroup offers a training for Raising a Thinking Child (RTC). RTC is based upon the evidence-based school-based program, ICPS. See this website for evidence about this program: I Can Problem Solve. Participants in this day-long plus offering will learn how to implement the RTC program for parents of children aged 4-7. RTC has demonstrated effectiveness in improving parenting skills and parent-child communication and in decreasing both impulsive and inhibited behaviors in young children.

We offer 1-2 day RTC facilitator trainings; please contact Rob Nix for information.
