The document discusses the Collaborative Problem-Solving (CPS) approach for treating "explosive" children. CPS assumes these children have lagging skills that cause noncompliance, unlike traditional models that focus on parenting. CPS uses Plan B instead of imposing will (Plan A) or removing expectations (Plan C). Plan B involves the caregiver and child collaboratively solving problems to strengthen the child's skills. The therapist helps identify skills to train, facilitates CPS between family members, and ensures all concerns are addressed to change perceptions and establish therapeutic alliances for change.
The document summarizes the Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) approach for treating children with explosive behaviors. It discusses limitations of traditional parent management training and introduces CPS as an alternative.

Domestic Violence and Its Impact On The Developing ChildHealth Easy Peasy
This document discusses the impact of domestic violence on children and youth of different ages. It describes how infants and toddlers can be affected by experiencing loud noises and tension at home, and how this can negatively impact attachment and development.

The document provides strategies for helping children cope and promoting their healthy development despite exposure to domestic violence.

Federal Lobbying Rules/ Disclosure•In 2007, Congress passed a law establishing new thresholds that determine what “is” a lobbyist and who must register at the federal level. •A person is required to register as a “lobbyist” if –(1) they have “more than one lobbying contact”; and –(2) their “lobbying activities” during a quarterly period constitute at least 20% of the individual’s time. •If the definition of “lobbyist” is met, the organization is only required to register if it spends more than $10,000 on lobbying activities. •Each state has its own separate rules related to lobbying.

Nonprofits and Lobby Registration•Federal lobbying rules have differentrequirements for nonprofit organizations. •The rules make a distinction between education and direct lobbying activities –with only direct lobbying requiring disclosure. •For example, if a nonprofit meets with a House or Senate member to educate them about CACs, or is called to testify on child abuse, neither action is considered lobbying activity. •However, meeting with Congress to advocate for our federal funding in the CJS appropriations bills is considered lobbying –at which point the previous rules on registration apply.
