FROM CONFLICT TO COLLABORATION: AN INTRODUCTION TO
​THE COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING APPROACH ​(4 SESSIONS)
The Collaborative Problem Solving parenting approach, developed by the Think:Kids program in Massachusetts General Hospital, provides parents with concrete tools to better understand and parent their children (ages 3-18) in the face of ordinary challenges – e.g., getting to school, screen time, homework, bedtime – and more serious challenges. It’s based on the understanding that many kids lack the skill, not the will, to behave well – specifically skills related to frustration tolerance, flexibility and problem solving. Unlike traditional models of discipline, the CPS approach avoids the use of power, control and motivators and instead helps parents to:
  • Foster a positive relationship with their child
  • Reduce their child's challenging behavior
  • Build their child's skills in self-regulation, communication and problem-solving
  • Solve problems collaboratively and proactively
Parents have the opportunity to apply the course content to their unique situation, practice elements of the approach between sessions, and receive expert feedback, all within a supportive small group of parents facing similar challenges. ​

Price: $250 per person or $440 for couples (a sliding scale is available for those with financial need).
