Chris speaks from the heart and mind! His passion for educating and caring for children is evident by his theoretical knowledge of CPS, but even more powerful is how his knowledge translates into helping children develop the skills they need to be successful as they mature. His presentation was heartfelt, easy to listen to, and is something that all parents would appreciate and children will learn from.
Sincerely,

Exceeded my expectations- I liked that the presentation was very clear, easy to understand and related to teacher/student and parent/child

I used CPS the next day. It nearly didn’t work , then suddenly the student decided to enter into a mutually agreed upon solution

I took a fabulous parenting course this spring on collaborative problem solving. The facilitator, Chris Alexiou, is excellent and I learned so much from him. He’s offering the course again this summer – please see the attached flyer with more information if you’re interested in signing up. I can’t recommend this course highly enough. It was amazing.

Chris I want to thank you for an excellent presentation of the course. What I have learned has been most helpful . I find I am listening more to my 14 year old son and giving him the opportunity to talk more. It’s been hard for me to keep quiet and not give an immediate response to what I think is the right solution . My son is sharing more. It’s not always what I want to hear, but he seems to feel comfortable talking to me. Well, taking the course is a start to a new way of relating to my son. I thought I would review as much as possible and try baby steps and be thankful that my son is talking to me.
Thank you. Brenda

I am so glad I joined this class with my husband. I am not a perfect parent but my husband was really struggling with our 4 year old. There was lot of crying and struggle everyday. My husband still doesn’t want to be on screen, he still listens to all that you say. From the last class, there has been so much change!! Thank you!

I’ve learned so much so far and have really enjoyed learning CPS. I have tried having some conversations with my daughter and they have gone well!

I appreciated your patience and knowledge during the course. I feel I have a learned a lot and will be using this style not only at home with my son — but also at work with my colleagues.
