SUMMARY:Collaborative and Proactive Solutions
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Healthy Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Children in the foster care system often have not had healthy relationships modeled for them within their families of origin. Some have witnessed domestic violence\, inappropriate familial and peer relationships\, and experienced the violation of their bodies\, distorting what is or is not appropriate in relationships. Exploring topics that may be difficult for adults to discuss with children and teens is the starting point for becoming comfortable with the subject matter. Developing a healthy self-respect is the foundation for future healthy relationships\, and as caregivers\, we must engage our children in ongoing conversations. To register\, call 314.968.2350 ext. 7234 or email intake.dept@familyforwardmo.org.
