School discipline is broken. Too often, the kids who need our help the most are viewed as disrespectful, out of control, and beyond help, and are often the recipients of our most ineffective, most punitive interventions. These students - and their parents, teachers, and administrators - are frustrated and desperate for answers. Dr. Ross W. Greene, author of the acclaimed book The Explosive Child, offers educators and parents a different framework for understanding challenging behavior.

Over her decades as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Mona Delahooke has routinely counseled distraught parents who struggle to manage their children’s challenging, sometimes oppositional behaviors. These families are understandably focused on correcting or improving a child’s lack of compliance, emotional outbursts, tantrums, and other “out of control” behavior. But, as she has shared with these families, a perspective shift is needed. Behavior, no matter how challenging, is not the problem but a symptom; a clue about what is happening in a child’s unique physiologic makeup.

Story
A much-needed tool that parents of children with O.D.D. can use to identify the source of this turmoil and take back parental control. Dr. Douglas Riley teaches parents how to recognize the signs, understand the attitudes, and modify the behavior of their oppositional child.
Written by: Douglas A. Riley
Publisher's Summary
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 attentionseeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren't passive, permissive disciplinarians. 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.
The Explosive Child is the highly acclaimed, lifechanging parenting guide in which Dr. Greene first delineated the Collaborative Problem Solving approach. Dr. Greene explains why kids exhibit challenging behaviors, why traditional behavior management strategies may not be effective for many kids, and how to use Plan B to solve problems collaboratively and teach your child the skills he or she is lacking.
As the model has evolved over the years, so has The Explosive Child, and it is available here in an abridged and updated fourth edition narrated by Dr. Greene.
Throughout this compassionate, insightful, and practical book, Dr. Greene provides a new conceptual framework for understanding their difficulties. 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 Problem Solving model promotes working with explosive children to solve the problems that precipitate explosive episodes, and teaching these kids the skills they lack.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
Editorial Review
Screaming, crying, kicking children. Worried and frustrated parents. They think they’ve tried everything to stop these severe tantrums, but nothing seems to work. The Explosive Child offers a whole new understanding of the behavioural challenges faced by families. In this title, Dr. Ross Greene presents a model that he has developed and updated for several years. According to the writer, these children react so violently to mundane situations simply because they do not have the capacity to do otherwise. With his own voice, Dr. Greene explains that traditional methods (punishment, rewards, therapy or medication), which are efficient on other children, do not work on explosive kids due to the fact that they lack several essential skills targeted by these methods: adaptability, frustration tolerance and problem solving. As a consequence, their parents need to take a different approach. In his fast-paced tone, Dr. Greene gives his expert advice and insights to help parents understand why explosive children present difficulties. He guides the listener through the Collaborative Problem Solving process to solve problems in a particular way and to help children acquire the specific skills they may lack. Through a captivating listening experience, The Explosive Child lays out Dr. Greene’s groundbreaking work and provides guidance in order to make behavioural challenges more manageable.

This book was amazing! It was like someone was writing it about my child and my family. I have never felt so understood and hopeful.
I spent a long time thinking I was very alone.
I devoured the book. It was easy to follow. Clear, concise and got to the heart of it right away.
I finished the book feeling optimistic and knowing what I needed to do to start the journey.
