<TD><FONT COLOR=#6633FF><B>This workshop focuses on children who manage to drive their parents/teachers to distraction by their "out-of-control" activity level and their "act first, think later" approach to life. These whirlwinds of raw energy and excitability manage to wreak havoc wherever they go. Because of the nature of their temperament, they need "special" handling and a big measure of understanding. Learn ways to help them use their gift of energy constructively, helping them develop self-control while giving their self-image a boost.</B></FONT></TD>
