lost and Found is the next-step resource to the groundbreaking books The Explosive Child and Lost at School. In Lost and Found, Dr. Ross W. Greene provides educators, parents, and other caregivers with the practical guidance needed for implementing his empirically-supported Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) problem solving model with behaviorally-challenging students. This model helps caregivers understand and help behaviorally challenging students in ways that are nonpunitive, nonadversarial, skill building, relationship-enhancing, collaborative, proactive, and—most importantly—helpful.

Lost and Found is a hands-on guide that provides the details for applying the CPS model for anyone who interacts with challenging children on a daily basis. It addresses the needs of students whose difficulties meeting social, emotional, or behavioral expectations are expressed through severe behaviors. But the model also applies to well-behaved kids. Lost and Found is filled with illustrative stories and examples from visionary educators who have successfully implemented the CPS model in their schools and classrooms and helped hundreds of vulnerable, at-risk children in the process.

Dr. Greene describes the process—and provides extensive examples—for identifying the skills a challenging child is lacking and the expectations the student is having difficulty meeting. Once these factors are known, it is possible to start solving problems proactively. He also describes the process for solving problems collaboratively, and provides not only multiple examples of the process but also guidance for organizing the effort in a school and coaching others in the use of the model.

Lost and Found offers a positive, proven paradigm for helping educators radically transform the way they go about assisting their most challenging students.
