Children who are quick to anger and lash out are sometimes labeled as oppositional or defiant. According to the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model, those concerning behaviors are best viewed as frustration responses that communicate a child is having difficulty meeting a particular expectation. In the CPS model, those expectations are called unsolved problems. Whether it’s completing chores or homework, ending video game time, or sitting at the dinner table, those problems will remain unsolved as long as caregivers use incentives and consequences to motivate adaptive behavior. Rewards and punishments don’t solve problems. What’s causing a child to be frustrated in the first place is where parents should focus.

This webinar will introduce the CPS model, and collaborative and proactive problem-solving strategies. This three-step roadmap empowers caregivers to approach a child’s concerning behavior with new understanding and new practices. Caregivers will learn:

  • Why some children are more prone to act out
  • About the situations that often drive children to exhibit concerning behavior
  • How to be truly proactive rather than reactive
  • Why rewards and punishments fail to inspire change
  • The three steps involved in solving problems collaboratively and proactively
