Childhood emotional and behavioural difficulties\u2014including severe temper tantrums, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), conduct problems, and severe emotional dysregulation\u2014are among the most distressing challenges confronting families and educators. Moving decisively away from antiquated moralistic views that label struggling children as “manipulative,” “defiant,” or “bad,” modern developmental clinical psychology is anchored in Ross Greene’s transformative paradigm: “Kids do well if they can.”<\/strong> If a child is exhibiting explosive or challenging behavior, it is because they have lagging cognitive skills<\/strong> (in flexibility, frustration tolerance, problem solving, or emotional regulation) meeting demands that exceed their capacity. The Child Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties Psychoeducation Module<\/strong> delivers 9 structured video lessons covering Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS), the ALSUP assessment, and empathetic co-regulation.<\/p>\n
