Parenting Challenging Kids

This document summarizes a presentation about challenging behavior in children. The presenter argues that challenging behavior occurs when a child's skills and capacities are exceeded by the demands placed upon them. Some children lack skills like flexibility, problem solving, and frustration tolerance to handle certain expectations. The presenter outlines three approaches to solving problems - imposition of will, collaborative problem solving, or setting the problem aside. They also describe the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions model and its steps for addressing unsolved problems through empathy, defining the issues, and generating mutually agreeable solutions.
