Objectives
[+] [-] 049010 - Collaborative & Proactive Solutions for Challenging Kids with Dr. Ross Greene

  3. Discuss the clinician’s approach to treating a child’s challenging behavior within the CPS Model.
  4. List the five types of sessions in the CPS Model and how the role of the clinician changes for each of the five types.

  6. Discuss the positives and negatives of all three approaches to handling an unsolved problem: Plan A, Plan B and Plan C.
  7. Explain how to involve the parent(s)/caregiver(s) AND the child in the collaborative approach (Plan B).
  8. List the three steps to the Plan B approach.
  9. Explain how the clinician can teach the parent(s)/caregiver(s) to ‘drill’ for more information from the child during the Empathy Step of the Plan B approach.

  • Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (Investigator Session)
  • Strategies to turn the ALSUP form into a ‘discussion guide’, not a ‘checklist’
  • Tools to identify a specific lagging skill
  • Guidelines to name the unsolved problems
    • The unsolved problem should contain NO challenging behavior - replaced by the word “difficulty”
    • The unsolved problem contains no ‘adult theories’ as to the cause of the problem
    • The unsolved problem is split, not clumped make it much easier for the child to talk about unsolved problems.
    • Make sure the unsolved problem is as specific as possible:
    • Ask “W” questions: Who, What, Where, When (not Why)
    • Ask parents what specific expectation the child is having difficulty meeting in the scenario they are describing
  • In-Session Demonstration Videos: ALSUP Sessions

  • Clinician/Parent Meeting (Instructor Session)
  • Three approaches to handling an unsolved problem
    • Plan A: Adult decides the solution
    • Plan B: Adult and child collaborate to solve the problem
    • Empathy step
    • Define adult concerns step
    • Invitation step
  • Plan C: Unsolved problem prioritization

  • Clinician, Parent and Child Meeting (Demonstrator Session )
  • Strategies to:
    • Overcome competing solutions
    • Identify when too many solutions and/or concerns are on the table
    • Propose solutions that are realistic and satisfactory to all parties
    • Foresee proposed solutions that will fail, and why

  • Follow-Up Sessions (Coaching & Interference Sessions)
  • As the problem-solving facilitator, the clinician should aim to:
    • Keep the session structured
    • Keep the family focused on the unsolved problem
    • Help the family stay on track
    • Identify what part of the plan is difficult and coach the proper skills some more
    • Troubleshoot other parts of the plan until the family achieves success - then move on to another high-priority unsolved problem
    • Help the family become self-sufficient in carrying out the plan for future unsolved problems
