STEPHANIE E. MEYER PH.D.

Dr. Stephanie Meyer's approach to child assessment and treatment is shaped by this belief: "Kids do well if they can." Coined by Dr. Ross Greene in his Collaborative Problem Solving model, this simple phrase and accompanying belief system challenge conventional wisdom about why children behave in the ways that they do. Extensive research into brain-behavior relationships suggests that children often behave in challenging ways because they lack the skills that would allow them to meet adult expectations, not because they are “manipulative,” “attention-seeking,” or “spoiled.”
