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.
