In working with children, instead of "putting out fires" and waiting for the next "acting out" to begin - we deal only with problem solving. This approach, created by Howard Glasser, allows parents and teachers to give energy to children when things are going right and when thing are not going wrong. When things are not going right with a child, we learn to withdraw our energy, giving the child a reset that is brief and not energized. Children want our positive energy and begin to seek success. Negative behaviors become less exciting.
