Overview of Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS)

In this inaugural edition of Parenting Your Challenging Child, Dr. Greene describes how challenging kids come to be challenging: they’re lacking the skills not to be challenging. This perspective represents a dramatic departure from viewing challenging kids as manipulative, attention-seeking, unmotivated, coercive, and limit-testing. A great introduction to Dr. Greene’s model for parents.
