Collaborative Problem Solving

What is it and how can parents use it?


Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) helps parents and children work together to understand each other’s concerns in order to find solutions to the real-life problems that are creating challenging behaviors at home.

The CPS approach helps parents understand which underdeveloped or lagging thinking skills may be contributing to their child’s difficulty meeting expectations in the home.
