I didn’t create this method in a textbook- I created it because I was desperate for something that worked.
For years, I parented my own child without a roadmap.
I tried rewards, consequences, even yelling… and nothing changed.
I’d find myself googling “Why does my child explode over socks?” - while crying in the bathroom, just trying to survive bedtime.
I wasn’t lazy, inconsistent, or inattentive.
I was doing everything I could- but without the right tools.
Then I discovered Dr. Ross Greene’s CPS model, and the penny dropped.
My child wasn’t giving me a hard time.
He was having a hard time.
And every meltdown, shutdown, or outburst?
It wasn’t bad behaviour - it was a sign of lagging skills.
That shift changed everything- for me, for my son,
and now, for the hundreds of families I support through the Focus- Plan-Thrive™ Method.
