Introductory Training in Think: Kids Collaborative Problem Solving Approach

Do you ever feel frustrated with your child? Find yourself shouting often and imposing punishments or rewards in reaction to challenging behavior? Do you wish you had a more effective parenting approach that also helps to build a better relationship between you and your child? Then this training is for you.

Think:Kids Collaborative Problem Solving parenting model is a revolutionary, evidence-based approach created by MGH’s Dept. of Psychiatry that provides parents with concrete tools to better understand and help children (ages 3-18) with challenging behavior. It’s based on the understanding that many kids lack the skill, not the will, to behave well – specifically skills related to problem solving, flexibility and frustration tolerance.
