Child in a Deep Hole at School Dec 13, 2011

Just Starting the Journey Nov 29, 2011

Stop Hitting Kids (and Start Solving Problems) Nov 08, 2011

Can't Solve Problems Without Identifying Kids' Concerns Oct 25, 2011

Show notes

That's what the Empathy step is for: really, truly, understanding what's getting in the way for a kid on a specific unsolved problem. Without that information, solving problems is a shot in the dark.

Behaviors are Not Unsolved Problems Oct 18, 2011

Show notes

One of the biggest non-starters in the Empathy step of Plan B is trying to talk with a child about his behavior rather than the unsolved problem setting that behavior in motion. And one of our callers is trying to get over that hump.
