Dr. Greene is the originator of Collaborative Problem Solving Approach (CPS), a method for helping children with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges.The guiding philosophy of CPS -- Kids do well if they can -- connotes that behaviorally challenging kids are already motivated to do well but have difficulty in situations demanding flexibility, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving. This is in stark contrast to the more commonly-held belief that a child’s misbehavior is the result of his planned, intentional, purposeful manipulations, or because the child’s parents are passive, permissive, inconsistent disciplinarians. Dr. Greene’s workshop will explain the core ingredients of the CPS model. Parents, educators and clinicians will learn about CPS as a process – it’s not a quick fix-it. The goal is to solve problems durably, to teach skills, and to change fundamental aspects of the way caregivers interact with a child (whether the child is behaviorally challenging or not).
