What’s an explosive child? A child who responds to routine problems with extreme frustration—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 for effective child behavior management—reasoning, explaining, punishing, sticker charts, therapy, medication—but to no avail. They can’t figure out why their child acts the way he or she does; they wonder why the strategies that work for other kids don’t work for theirs; and they don’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 aren’t attention-seeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren’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 don’t work with these children, and he describes what to do instead. Instead of relying on rewarding and punishing, Dr. Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model provides a form of non-punitive discipline that promotes working with explosive children to solve the problems that precipitate explosive episodes, and teaching these kids the skills they lack. This compassionate and practical guide provides a new path forward for families. Inside, you’ll discover how to: Identify Lagging Skills: Learn why explosive kids lack crucial skills in flexibility, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving, and how this understanding changes everything about your approach. Solve Problems Collaboratively: Master the parent-proven process of working with your child to solve the problems that precipitate explosive episodes, instead of just managing the behavior. Implement Evidence-Based Parenting Strategies: Apply Dr. Greene's research-backed model to nurture your child's development and reduce conflict, without resorting to punishments that don’t work. Transform Family Dynamics: Move from a state of constant crisis to one of connection and mutual understanding, helping your child feel heard and restoring peace to your household. Review: Game Changer - This book was enthusiastically recommended to me (along with Motivational Interviewing) when I was struggling with a teenage foster son. It has been a game changer with my elementary schooler, who is generally well-behaved but sometimes oppositional. The book teaches a simple recipe for working WITH a child to troubleshoot issues, called Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS). The focus is working with children who are oppositional, reactive, or stubborn to brainstorm and implement solutions that will satisfy both the child and the adult. Over time, CPS can help the child meet expectations, improve the overall climate of the relationship, and help the child develop better executive function. It's simple enough that even I can remember the steps, haha. I would make one observation: TBRI is a prerequisite for CPS; they complement each other. When a child is empowered through feeling safe and calm and having basic needs met, and is primed to learn through playful connection, then the door is wide open for CPS. And CPS will reinforce TBRI; it’s a corrective approach that will also further empower and connect the child. A great way to learn TBRI is to read The Connected Child or to watch the Karyn Purvis Institute videos. Watch the teen TBRI videos if that's your age group. Review: learning how to relate to an explosive child - I cannot say enough good about this book. We adopted 2 boys, both having FASD, one presenting very explosive behaviors. Most times we wouldn’t know what provoked him. He was in therapy with a Dr for 7 years (he’s 10 now). We finally pulled him out of the useless therapy. Public schools gave up on him. (Actually a good thing). He was admitted to a therapeutic day school. The entire staff are therapists, and trained in behavior therapy. AMAZING. But after reading this book and implementing plan B, the improvement we saw at home has been amazing. We are now seeing behavioral issues way less often. I highly recommend everyone, parents and foster parents to read this book. It brings everything into perspective. Your family will be so stress free, just by not walking on eggshells constantly ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,794 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Behavioral Disorders in Special Ed. #3 in Motherhood (Books) #4 in Programming Languages (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,345 Reviews | ## Images ![The Explosive Child [Sixth Edition]: A New Approach to Understanding and Parenting Children - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7148uFt7XbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Game Changer *by J***R on October 17, 2023* This book was enthusiastically recommended to me (along with Motivational Interviewing) when I was struggling with a teenage foster son.
