Week 5 of 5
Week five of the Living Better with Challenging Children Collaborative Problem Solving Parent Group offers parents practice with Plan B.
If you are reading this as a therapist, teacher, or other professional working with a child or family, background knowledge of the model is recommended.
Week 5 Practice:
The group practices Plan B by participating in role plays. Each participant role-played as a child, an adult and a Plan B Coach.
Week 5 Information:
No new information presented.
Plan B in a Nutshell (again...)
Step 1. Empathy/ Reassurance
Drilling down to find the concerns.
“What's Up” + Empathy Statements
Step 2. Define the Problem
Putting both concerns on the table
“I hear you are upset about____ and I am concerned that______.”
Step 3. Invitation
Child generates solutions, becomes part of process.
“Let's work on this.” / “Do you have any ideas?”
“That's an idea.”
Is it doable? Does it meet both our concerns?
”Let's give this a try!”
