This conference covers some of the causes of anger and the health risks associated with hostility. Interventions based on cognitive, emotive, and behavioral techniques are described and demonstrated. Methods for how to help children and adolescents distract themselves in order to gain time before acting are shared and discussed. The campaign aims to inform the public about the social crisis of child abuse and neglect and to introduce Parents Anonymous as a viable means of curbing child abuse through its network of self-help peer support groups for parents.
Participants can show their support by displaying a blue bow on their collar or car antenna.

The workshop is based on research and theory in the areas of social-emotional, cognitive, motor, sensory, and language development. The workshop will also demonstrate the necessity of integrating the different developmental domains so that caregivers may see and interact with the whole child.
