Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Hello everyone. I'm Carol Fleck and on behalf of the Attitude team I'm pleased to welcome you to today's ADHD experts presentation titled The

explosive child Collaborative and Proactive Solutions for Parents.

Leaving today's presentation is Dr. Ross Green.

Dr. Green is a clinical psychologist and best-selling author.

He is widely known for developing an evidence-based model of care called Collaborative and Proactive

Solutions or CPS.

It's based on the premise that a child's problematic behavior occurs, not because the child is being deliberately defiant,

but because a parent has opposed expectations that the child simply can't meet.

Dr. Green's model of care has been implemented in countless schools and in

residential and juvenile detention facilities with positive outcomes. Dr. Green is the author of several books including The explosive child,

Lost at School, and Raising Human Beings.

He is also the founding director of the nonprofit Lives in the Balance.

In today's webinar, we'll discuss what triggers difficult or oppositional behavior in children

and what caregivers can do to inspire change.

We'll explain why using rewards and consequences may not motivate adaptive

behavior long term and what parents should focus on instead.

Finally, the sponsor of this webinar is brain balance.

When your child, teen, or young adult is struggling and you know they're capable of so much more it can be overwhelming,

especially when it feels like no one else sees their potential, but brain balance parents know better.

They know better academic and mental health outcomes and they know happier children.

They also know they're surrounded by a community of supportive parents and brain-balanced staff
