Tired of the meltdowns, nagging, yelling, and constant power struggles between you and your child? Is challenging behavior tearing your family apart? If behavior charts, rewards, and punishments aren’t working, we know why!
Research shows kids with challenging behavior lack the skill, not the will, to behave.
Our evidence-based approach developed at Massachusetts General Hospital is a big shift when it comes to understanding your child’s challenging behavior and what to do about it. Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS) is proven to reduce challenging behavior, increase compliance, improve family relationships, and help your child build the skills they lack.
You’ll learn how to partner with your child to identify the triggers for their challenging behavior, and work together to produce a game plan for how to handle problems before they happen. Take the first step today to better understand and help your child, and become the parent you want to be.
Think:Kids invites parents, guardians, families, and caregivers to learn Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS), the evidence-based and trauma-informed approach for helping children develop the skills they need to manage their behavior. This supportive class teaches parents and caregivers how to reduce challenging behaviors by using the approach with their child.
The CPS-APT walks you through the steps of assessing unmet expectations/triggers, skills, and challenging behaviors, as well as planning your intervention.
This completed version of a sample CPS-APT provides an example of what an APT with a child in at home may look like.
