This chapter guides parents on how to prioritize and address their child's behavioral challenges through a systematic and collaborative approach. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on a few core issues at a time and highlights the benefits of involving the child in problem-solving to create mutually satisfactory solutions.
Children who are quick to anger and lash out may be labeled oppositional or defiant. Ross Greene, Ph.D., introduces his Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model, which empowers caregivers to rethink challenging behaviors as frustration responses.
