The empath...I live and breathe CPS and Ross Greene. The empathy stage is less about empathy and more about gathering info about the kid's concerns and reassuring him that you just want info , his input , you don't want to impose your solution. the brilliance of the approach imho is that people, kids etc usually present their concerns in terms of a solution. A solution in reality is only one way to address a concern. We need to step back and drill down for concerns. Alfie Kohn's writing compliments CPS - CPS is more about the how , AK adds more to the why. Collaborative problem solving is becoming more popular but as Lisa Cooley said the starting point must be respecting kids and not using cps as a means to get what adults want. This is the reason we start out addressing the kids concerns first.It is not easy , we have to overcome trust issues as well as help kids acquire skills. The cps process itself addresses the kid's need for autononmy - his concerns and his solutions are on the table, competence - he is learning indirectly lots of cognitive skills and relatedness - the process improves trust and relationship. There are 2 cps sites that I recommend - Ross Greene's http://livesinthebalance.org http://thinkkids.org . I blog combining CPS =Greene ,Alfie Kohn and RDI - relationship development intervention = the non behaviorist approach to autism instead of ABA. CPS is not easy and hard workAllanKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832588840708909428noreply@blogger.com
