Description

This is some of the best of Bob Ditter—an edition chock full of with practical, powerful tools for staff working with children articulated in a clear, straight forward training program. Bob points out how we influence campers, rather than control them, and discusses several effective ways for counselors to improve their skill in this area. The program introduces start-stop-continue and moves on to a host of other essential counseling skills—including how to avoid power struggles; how to make better use of non-verbal communication and other timely techniques. These are the basic skills you want all of your staff to master!
