The SOS method
Proven principles, made practical
SOS turns decades of behavioral and cognitive-behavioral research into clear, everyday skills that anyone can learn and use — at home, in the classroom, and in the clinic.
1
Learn the method
Simple, plain-language skills grounded in behavior therapy and cognitive-behavior therapy — no jargon, no guesswork.
2
Use the same language
Parents, teachers, and counselors all use the same approach, so expectations line up at home and at school.
3
Practice consistently
Repeatable techniques you can use every day. Consistency — not perfection — is what changes behavior.
4
Support emotions too
Behavior and feelings go together. SOS supports both children's behavior and the whole family's emotional health.
The evidence
Why SOS works
SOS is built on behavior therapy and cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) — two of the most thoroughly researched, widely endorsed approaches to changing behavior and managing emotions.
Instead of vague encouragement, SOS gives you specific methods: how to increase the behavior you want, how to reduce the behavior you don't, and how to stay calm and consistent while you do it. The same clarity applies to emotions, where SOS teaches how thoughts shape feelings — and how to change both.
That rigor is why professionals recommend SOS and why it has been reviewed favorably in the professional literature, including the Journal of Clinical Child Psychology, which called it "an extremely comprehensive book… an excellent book."
