About This Program The information in this program outline is
provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC
staff. Think:Kids has been rated by the CEBC in the area of:
Disruptive Behavior Treatment (Child & Adolescent). Think:Kids
teaches an approach for helping children with behavioral
challenges where through training, support and clinical
services, the understanding that challenging kids lack the
skill, not the will, to behave well is promoted. Specifically,
skills related to problem solving, flexibility, and frustration
tolerance are emphasized. Unlike traditional models of
discipline, this approach based on the Collaborative Problem
Solving model, avoids the use of power, control, and
motivational procedures and instead focuses on teaching at-risk
kids the skills they need to succeed. Not long ago, kids who had
trouble reading were thought of as lazy or dumb. Today, people
recognize that these kids have a learning disability that simply
requires a different method of teaching. Think:Kids
