Collaborative Problem Solving® Parent Class
Parents, guardians, caregivers, I am inviting you to learn Collaborative Problem Solving®, an innovative approach to understanding and helping kids with behavioral challenges. CPS is rooted in decades of research in neuroscience, it’s effective, and trauma-sensitive.
You will learn how to reduce undesired behaviors by helping your child build skills they need to succeed, while you strengthen your relationship with them along the way.
What To Expect
During these highly interactive classes, you will enjoy the supportive environment of a small group of fellow parents as you learn the entire Collaborative Problem Solving approach from theory to practice. You will have access to the slides, supportive materials, a workbook, and lots of opportunities to ask questions.
The Collaborative Problem Solving® approach is owned and developed by Think:Kids (www.thinkkids.org),
a program based in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, in Boston, MA.
Learning Objectives
Understand why your child/children sometimes struggle to meet day-to-day expectations.
Learn the Collaborative Problem Solving approach to addressing conflicts in a way that reduces undesired behaviors, improves relationships, and teaches critical skills.
Practice addressing problems before things become escalated between you and your child.
Connect with other parents in a compassionate and non-judgmental setting.
What is Collaborative Problem Solving?
CPS is a relational discipline; unlike traditional approaches, the CPS model does not use power, control and motivational procedures and instead focuses on collaborating with the child/teen to solve problems that lead to challenging behavior and building the skills they need to succeed.
Research has found that CPS led to significant improvement in the lives of kids with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and collaboration is a recommended disciplinary approach by the PDA Society UK, and PDA North America.
