We have talked before on the podcast about the importance of restorative rest and about how routines and rituals factor into our processes for making sure we have margin in our lives. In this episode we dig a layer deeper on how we think about rest and rejuvenation. We start with our current Highs and Lows (i.e., weekends away with friends, dealing with the public education system, and stress). Then we shift into Today's Topic. Next we share a couple of Tips & Tricks (Wizard of Paws and the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems). Finally, we close out with Facing Forward to share what we want to make true in our lives in the next two weeks as we work to cultivate lives full of joy, purpose, and community.

Ashley & Emily discuss their takeaways in Chapters 3-4 from Ross Greene's The Explosive Child. Lagging Skills (aka Pathways) are abilities that children don't have (yet) and Unsolved Problems (aka triggers) are scenarios in which challenging behavior is likely to occur. Explosions or other unwanted behavior is often predictable, which makes it solvable! Identifying the lagging skills and triggers - without playing the blaming game or placing guilt - is the first step to solving such behaviors. (We will discuss the resolution in future episodes.) The ASLUP (Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems) form with a list of potential Lagging Skills can be found on Dr. Greene's website at https://livesinthebalance.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/ALSUP-2020.pdf.  Questions?

In this interview Stacy explains the "CPS" paradigm (Collaborative and Proactive Solutions) and how she's seen it change outcomes for kids at home, in school, and beyond. As Stacy explains: "In the CPS model, concerning behavior is viewed as the means by which students communicate that they are having difficulty meeting certain expectations. Behavior is a signal."

This week and this month I’m focusing on how we can really help our strong-willed kids and what actually “works” with these kids. We’ll delve into why your kid’s behavior isn’t significantly improving if you’ve tried the traditional approaches like play therapy or sticker charts. We need to understand what’s really going on with these kids and how it’s more about “lagging skills” and less about being intentionally difficult. As always, I don’t mince words and give it to you straight up from another mom (me) who has walked this path just a few steps before you. I’ve. Got. You.

Well, we finally had our first program of the school year, and our primary focal point -- led by our newest co-host, Heidi O'Leary, Special Education Director in Topsham, Maine -- was on how to write a CPS-flavored IEP, driven by the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (ALSUP). This is big...

So, if a parent feels like his or her lagging skills are contributing to challenging episodes with his or her child, then how does the parent learn the skills? The same way the kid does: by participating in Plan B, preferably proactively.

Challenging behavior isn't a puzzle anymore when you put the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (ALSUP) to work.      

We turned to the mailbag on today's program, and responded to inquiries from five parents.  But there was a fairly consistent theme:  it all begins with the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems.  

Susy and Dr. Greene covered a lot of ground on today's program, including helping a mom whose daughter has been diagnosed with generalized and social anxiety get more focused on her daughter's specific lagging skills and unsolved problems.

On today's program, we helped Debbie's mom with the wording of unsolved problems on the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems.  Now we're ready to start solving those problems collaboratively and proactively!

On today's program, we helped a mom begin identyfing the lagging skills and unsolved problems contributing to the challenging episodes of her daughter (who we're calling Debbie), using the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (ALSUP) as our guide. Once the problems are identified, the task of solving them begins...along with the adventure of getting to know Debbie. 

Dr. Greene's guest on today's program was Dr. Christopher Kaufman, a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist whose 27 years of practice includes over two decades as Lead Psychologist for the Portland (Maine) Public School Department. Dr. Kaufman is also author of Executive Function in the Classroom: Practical Strategies for Improving Performance and Enhancing Skills for All Students. Want to hear about the link between lagging skills and challenging behavior...and about the need for school systems and eveyone else) to focus more on lagging skills than on the behaviors caused by those lagging skills?  Listen!

"It all starts with the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems".  Identifying lagging skills ensures that adults have the right lenses on.  Identifying unsolved problems that are congruent with the four guidelines helps adults and kids know what problems they're trying to solve.  Both are indispensible.

On today's program, Dr. Greene provided feedback to a caller on the wording of the unsolved problems she'd written for a student on the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems. That feedback might be helpful to you too!

On this program, we listened to another recording of a meeting at Anytown Elementary in which the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems was being used...and this one was really good! A sign that a little feedback can go a long way...

Our good friends at Anytown Elementary sent in a recording of a meeting in which they used the Assessment of Lagging Skills for one of their students. It was a great first try, but they made some of the same mistakes that many folks make early on in their use of the ALSUP.  Feedback was provided!

Dr. Greene responded to a variety of emailed questions on today's program, including several related to difficulties wording unsolved problems on the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems.  Relevant (and hopefully helpful) guidance was provided!

If you're familiar with Dr. Greene's model, then you already know that understanding and helping behaviorally challenging students begins with the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems.  On today's program, the staff at Anytown Elementary received some assistance in using this instrument.

Having a productive meeting using the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems should take about 50 minutes...assuming the participants aren't spending lots of time theorizing, hypothesizing, and story-telling. Are there other reasons the meeting could take longer? You'll have to listen to find out!

Dr. Greene promised to do an entire program on how to use the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (ALSUP), and here it is!

If a child's behavioral challenges are the result of poor motivation, then rewarding and punishing makes perfect sense.  But if it's lagging skills...and if the behavioral challenges occur in response to specific unsolved problems...well, you have some problem-solving in your future...hopefully, the collaborative kind.

In this program, Dr. Greene will continue helping the staff at Anytown High use the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems to understand one of their most challenging students and identify the unsolved problems that are contributing to her challenging episodes.

In this program, the staff at Anytown High School got some practice using the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems to view the difficulties of a challenging student through new lenses and identify specific problems that need to be solved. To be continued...

We went with a more technical topic today, but one that comes up frequently in schools: how to incorporate the CPS model in general and the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (ALSUP) in particular into a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and a Behavior Plan. First, you may want to reconsider your definition of "function"...it's not that the student's challenging behavior is helping him get, escape, or avoid, but rather than the behavior communicates that he's lacking the skills to deal with the demands being placed on him in a more adaptive fashion. After that, the ALSUP pretty much gives you all the information you need to write your Behavior Plan...except that you might want to change the name of that document and call it a Problem Solving Plan instead. Helping kids with their challenging behavior isn't about altering their behavior through use of incentives...it's about collaborating on solutions to the problems that are setting in motion their challenging behavior. Listen to the recorded version of the program!

In this inaugural edition of Collaborative Problem Solving at Home, Dr. Greene describes how challenging kids come to be challenging: they're lacking the skills not to be challenging. This perspective represents a dramatic departure from viewing challenging kids as manipulative, attention-seeking, unmotivated, coercive, and limit-testing. Dr. Greene also describes how to go about figuring out what skills your kid is lacking, through use of the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (ALSUP). He discusses the fact that challenging behavior occurs under highly predictable conditions, called "unsolved problems," and describes how to go about identifying these unsolved problems in your child. A great introduction to Collaborative Problem Solving for parents!

In this program, Dr. Greene talks about the importance of having a "vision" for what discipline should look like in a school building. Having a vision starts with understanding that challenging behavior is a form of developmental delay...continues with using the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (ALSUP) in a school's assessment procedures...and continues with creating mechanisms for school staff to become skilled at using Plan B. Along the way, it's also necessary to create mechanisms for school staff to communicate well about at-risk students.
