SUMMARY:Collaborative & Proactive Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Formerly known as Collaborative Problem Solving\, the originator Dr. Ross Greene works under the assumption that children do well if they can. By viewing challenging behavior as a deficit in cognitive skills\, specifically the domains of flexibility/adaptability\, frustration tolerance and problem solving\, parents can view their child through sympathetic eyes. Parents practice the three steps of collaborative problem solving: Empathy Step\, Define the Problem Step and Invitation Step.
