30 Jun 2021
Tired of ADHD strategies that don’t work? Here’s what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup___Join Tracy for Episode #130 of ADHD for Smart Ass Women where she discusses challenging kids with ADHD and the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) system developed by Dr. Robert Greene. CPS was created to diffuse power struggles between parents and their challenging children, particularly those with explosive behavior issues. It is utilized in juvenile detention facilities, prisons, schools, and, of course, with families worldwide.Tracy explores why, even if you don’t have kids, you can gain insights about yourself from this podcast. She explains why telling an ADHD child what to do doesn’t benefit them or the parent-child relationship over time, and highlights the most crucial role a parent plays in their child’s life. Tracy also reveals the question she always asks when figuring out her next steps, the statement that underpins Dr. Greene’s CPS philosophy and transforms everything, and why switching from a drill sergeant to a coach and collaborator is much more effective with ADHD kids. Additionally, she addresses the problem with lagging skills, how to assess them, the 3-Step CPS system, and whose opinion must be considered to address challenging behaviors.______________Resources:Why Will No One Play with Me?: The Play Better Plan to Help Children of All Ages Make Friends and Thrive, PCC, M.EdThe Explosive Child by Dr. Robert Greenehttps://drrossgreene.com/Dr. Ross Greene Video: Kids Do WelSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.
