Events Collaborative and Proactive Solutions

April 23 at 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Formerly known as Collaborative Problem Solving, this approach, developed by Dr. Ross Greene, is based on the assumption that children do well if they can. By viewing challenging behavior as a deficit in cognitive skills—specifically in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving—parents can view their child with empathy. Parents practice the three steps of collaborative problem solving: the Empathy Step, the Define the Problem Step, and the Invitation Step.
