BE THE PARENT YOU WANT TO BE! A New Way of Understanding and Parenting Kids
Think:Kids Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) approach, based in MGH’s Department of Psychiatry, provides parents with concrete tools to better understand and parent their kids in the face of day-to-day challenges.

The CPS approach helps parents to:

• Shift their thinking and approach to foster positive relationships with their child/teen
• Reduce their child’s challenging behavior
• Solve problems collaboratively and proactively
• Help their child/teen develop skills related to self-regulation, communication and problem-solving
