Kids do well if they can, not because they want to. Over fifty years of research into neuroscience has demonstrated that challenging behavior is a manifestation of lagging skills in vital areas of thinking skills, and yet virtually all conventional approaches to challenging behavior depend on motivating kids to want to do well. In this engaging session, we'll explore the foundations of Collaborative Problem Solving, an evidence-based approach to challenging behavior that is grounded in relationship and skill-building. We'll examine the root causes of challenging behavior and what we - parents, teachers, social workers, and other child-focused professionals - can do to help kids build the skills for success. Join us to learn what thousands of families and facilities across the continent have already learned: where there's a skill, there's a way.
