The Explosive Child [Fifth Edition]: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children
- Used Book in Good Condition
A groundbreaking approach to understanding and parenting children who frequently exhibit severe fits of temper and other intractable behaviors, from a distinguished clinician and pioneer in this field.
Whatâ‚¬s an explosive child? A child who responds to routine problems with extreme frustrationâ‚¬"crying, screaming, swearing, kicking, hitting, biting, spitting, destroying property, and worse. A child whose frequent, severe outbursts leave his or her parents feeling frustrated, scared, worried, and desperate for help. Most of these parents have tried everything-reasoning, explaining, punishing, sticker charts, therapy, medicationâ‚¬"but to no avail. They canâ‚¬t figure out why their child acts the way he or she does; they wonder why the strategies that work for other kids donâ‚¬t work for theirs; and they donâ‚¬t know what to do instead.

Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids arenâ‚¬t attention-seeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents arenâ‚¬t passive, permissive pushovers. Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach to parenting.

Throughout this compassionate, insightful, and practical book, Dr. Greene provides a new conceptual framework for understanding their difficulties, based on research in the neurosciences. He explains why traditional parenting and treatment often donâ‚¬t work with these children, and he describes what to do instead. Instead of relying on rewarding and punishing, Dr. Greeneâ‚¬s Collaborative Problem Solving model promotes working with explosive children to solve the problems that precipitate explosive episodes, and teaching these kids the skills they lack.
