Challenging behavior isn’t a motivation problem, it’s a skills and problem-solving problem. In this powerful masterclass, Dr. Ross Greene (clinical psychologist, author, and founder of the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model) and Tammy Schamuhn (child psychologist and co-founder of the Institute of Child Psychology) unpack a compassionate, research-informed shift that has transformed homes and schools: kids do well if they can. 

Instead of relying on sticker charts, punishments, power struggles, or “compliance-first” discipline, Dr. Greene helps adults learn to see behavior as communication: a child is showing us they’re having difficulty meeting an expectation, and there’s an unsolved problem underneath that needs our attention. 

What You’ll Learn:

✅ Why consequences (rewards and punishments) don’t solve the problems that cause challenging behavior 

✅ How to shift from “They won’t” to “They can’t yet,” by identifying lagging skills and unmet expectations 

✅ The 3-step CPS/Plan B process for collaborative problem-solving

✅ How to reduce conflict by solving problems proactively, before kids reach the boiling point 

✅ How this approach supports children across settings (home, classroom, recess, coaching) while strengthening trust and connection
