Evidence-Based
Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS)
Coaching for Families

Parenting a child with complex behavioral challenges: meltdowns, chronic non-compliance, or daily emotional battle, is exhausting and isolating.

Standard discipline strategies often make things worse because they miss the core issue: 

Kids do well if they can.

When children exhibit challenging behavior, it isn't a lack of motivation. It is a lack of skills.

Using the CPS model, we identify the specific skills and unsolved problems driving your child’s behavior, replacing daily power struggles with structured, lasting solutions.

After Employing
the CPS model...

From Living on Edge → To Predictable Daily Flow
Instead of walking on eggshells and dreading the next bedtime battle or morning meltdown, you get smooth transitions and daily routines that actually stick.

From Reactive Discipline → To Proactive Problem-Solving
Instead of relying on exhausting time-outs, reward charts, or taken-away privileges that cause resentment, you solve problems before they trigger a crisis using structured Plan B conversations.

From Guesswork & Guilt → To Total Confidence
Instead of feeling isolated after trying every parenting strategy, you gain a concrete, repeatable framework (ASUP and Plan B) to handle any new challenge your child encounters as they grow.

From Surface Battles → To Deep Connection
Instead of viewing resistance as non-compliance, you address the exact unmet skills driving the issue — building trust, reducing defensiveness, and restoring peace to your home.

How The CPS
Methodology Works

Traditional parenting approaches focus on managing behavior after it happens. CPS works upstream to solve problems before they trigger a crisis.

Step 1: Assessment of Skills and Unsolved Problems (ASUP)
We pinpoint the precise skills (emotional regulation, flexible thinking, frustration tolerance) causing friction, shifting the lens from "bad behavior" to "unmet needs."

Step 2: Proactive Plan B Conversations
We move away from unilateral rules (Plan A). Through structured Plan B framework sessions, we gather the child’s perspective, express adult concerns, and collaborate on mutually agreed-upon solutions.

Step 3: Long-Term Stabilization
Solutions are tested, refined, and embedded into daily routines — equipping your family with a repeatable framework to solve future challenges independently.

Who Am I ?

Hi, I’m Catherine, a mom of twin boys. Founder of the Grow Together Parenting Club.

For years, I worked closely with families as a pediatric sleep consultant, diving deep into early childhood dynamics and parenting frameworks like RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) and Circle of Security Parenting (COSP).

I saw firsthand how much parents care, how deeply they invest, and how hard they work to foster secure attachments.

Yet, as children grew older and behavioral challenges became more complex, so many of these same parents hit a wall — finding themselves trapped in an exhausting cycle of meltdowns, power struggles, and daily tension. Even with strong foundational tools, standard advice like reward charts, strict boundaries, or consequence systems often fell short when faced with intense emotional resistance.

I knew there had to be a more effective, compassionate way to bridge the gap between loving your child and actually resolving the high-friction moments that drain a household.

Everything clicked when I brought Dr. Ross Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) framework into my practice. Grounded in the principle that Kids do well if they can, CPS offered the missing piece: a structured, evidence-based method to solve the root causes of challenging behavior rather than just managing surface symptoms.

Combining my background in attachment and early childhood with the proactive Plan B methodology, I now help parents move beyond crisis management, equip their children with essential skills, and build a peaceful, connected home that lasts.
