    We had an update from one previous caller (Plan C for the win!), an email about how to use the model with toddlers, and another caller who is worried about her 18 year-old son who seems to have regressed considerably.  Check out the advice given about the CPS Model across a range of ages!  We will be back in September - You can call into the program to get your questions answered or submit them via email here.  And, if you can't listen live, all the programs are archived on i-Tunes.

    A Little of This and a Little of That

    A Little of This and a Little of That

    We were able to clear some of our email backlog in today's episode and talk through how a grandparent could bring up CPS to her daughter who is parenting a challenging child, what to do when solutions don't work, and using the model with a kiddo who appears to be cognitively rigid.  Have a listen!

    Surprises Often Lurk in Step 1

    Surprises Often Lurk in Step 1

    Interesting discussion about how step 1 - the Empathy Step - of the CPS Model helps us to understand the inner worlds of our children and how they perceive things...which often can be very different from how we adults perceive things.  Important not to skip this step if we are going to help them durably solve problems!  Hear the surprising information our caller learned when she talked with her child about what makes it hard to engage in CPS and problem solve things that are not going well.  We also briefly answered an email regarding sensory issues.

    Drill Well, My Friends

    Drill Well, My Friends

    Amazing discussions with our two callers today, both parents whose kids are struggling with school. We covered many of the nuances of solving problems collaboratively, but it all starts with making sure you're clear on what's making it hard for a kid to meet a particular expectation.

Answers to so many of my parenting questions!

I’ve been searching and searching for a podcast like this. It gives me a place to start with my 11 year old who was recently tentatively diagnosed bipolar. Who started self harm a few months ago and has left me utterly reeling and floundering.
I’m starting at the beginning and finally feeling hopeful. Thank you Dr Greene.

Audio isn’t perfect but so what?

I’m starting from the beginning and I’m maybe halfway through the archive. I realize the audio isn’t the best but... compared to all we are gaining and learning that seems to be frivolous. I mean...we are learning such valuable information to help children it’s honestly amazing. I can’t believe people are giving a low rating due to something as silly as audio quality.
I can see making a complaint about it, but to give a low rating?! Wow... just wow.
I’m truly appalled.
I’m just grateful for the information and training and guidance... so what if the audio isn’t the best?

Expected better audio

I understand it’s a call-in show, but the audio is so bad that my brain is exhausted from trying to cancel all the background noise. The content is so important, I wish it was easier to hear.
