" 'How to work with kids and not be mean.' That’s the subtitle of today’s “Positive Discipline” seminar, conducted through one of the nation’s most extensive
training networks for after-school workers. The staffers discuss the problem behaviors they face with kids in the
program here: not listening, teasing, lying, not trying, talking back and stealing. Then they try to figure out
what to do about it."

"Gurna's approach caters to his participants and recognizes that staffers want
to have fun and not sit through a boring lecture. He uses a variety of activities, icebreakers and role
playing to involve the participants, and by the session's end, attendees have some practical tips for
improving kids behavior during after-school."
