Story
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.

Conventional methods often backfire, creating a downward spiral of resentment and frustration, and a missed opportunity for growth. What if the thinking behind these old methods is wrong? What if people don’t misbehave because they want to, but because they lack the skills to do better? Or as renowned psychologist J. Stuart Ablon asks, what if changing problem behavior is a matter of skill, not will?

Onward tackles the problem of educator stress, and provides a practical framework for taking the burnout out of teaching. Stress is part of the job, but when 70 percent of teachers quit within their first five years because the stress is making them physically and mentally ill, things have gone too far. Unsurprisingly, these effects are highest in difficult-to-fill positions such as math, science, and foreign languages, and in urban areas and secondary classrooms - places where we need our teachers to be especially motivated and engaged.

Story
Each year an estimated 1.5 million children - one out of every six - are diagnosed with autism, Asperger's syndrome, ADHD, dyslexia, and obsessive compulsive disorder. Dr. Robert Melillo brings a fundamentally new understanding to the cause of these conditions with his revolutionary Brain Balance Program™. It has achieved real, fully documented results that have dramatically improved the quality of life for children and their families in every aspect: behavioral, emotional, academic, and social.
Publisher's Summary
From the renowned authority on education and parenting, "an in-depth approach to aid parents and teachers to work together with behaviorally challenging students" (Publishers Weekly) - now revised and updated.
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. Dr. Greene's Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) approach helps adults focus on the true factors contributing to challenging classroom behaviors, empowering educators to address these factors and create helping relationships with their most at-risk kids.
This revised and updated edition of Lost at School contains the latest refinements to Dr. Greene's CPS model, including enhanced methods for solving problems collaboratively, improving communication, and building relationships with kids.
Dr. Greene's lively, compelling narrative includes:
- Tools to identify the problems and lagging skills causing challenging behavior
- Explicit guidance on how to radically improve interactions with challenging kids and reduce challenging episodes - along with many examples showing how it's done
- Practical guidance for successful planning and collaboration among educators, parents, and kids
Backed by years of experience and research and written with a powerful sense of hope and achievable change, Lost at School gives teachers and parents the realistic strategies and information to impact the classroom experience of every challenging kid (and their classmates).

great book
This book has a very different philosophy on dealing with challenging kids. It's worth a read/listen. Easy to read language and many concrete examples so you know what to do in your classroom/home. I enjoyed the story lines throughout the book that showed practical application and gave the book something extra (more than just theory, data, and examples).

Great narration of an inspiring book
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book on a long road trip. The narration was engaging and clear. I appreciated knowing when the book switched from various subheadings such as "the story continues" or clearly breaking down lists of examples. I would recommend this book to teachers, parents or caregivers that work with "difficult behaviours".

Interesting insights
I believe Dr. Greene captures the essence of necessary changes school systems need to make in order to truly educate our students. Facilitating academic progress and and sufficiently preparing our youth for the future entails so much more than mere math, science, social studies and reading/LA. Social/emotional development, one's mental health and relational aptitude are intertwined within academic and cognitive development. They cannot be separated, but yet schools' predominant focus is solely on academic content. Overall, this focus basically excludes aspects of what science has proven to foster cognitive and overall development. Science has proven that the primary factors in having a happy and successful life are relational connectedness and aptitude! Relational and social/emotional health require foundational skills. These skills need to be taught, practiced and then re-taunt in a comprehensive, developmentally appropriate way. That's how humans learn- through patterned repetition. Great book! I wish all schools considered this philosophy. Perhaps then societal health would improve, along with the scores of typical assessment measures.

A must read for anyone working with kids.
A practical, hands on, easy to read book packed with valuable information. It invites one to look at the paradigm one is using to respond to kids’ challenging behavior and offers a more effective approach (a proactive and collaborative approach with proven positive results) to respond to kids’ (and their parents) struggles. Kids don’t have difficult behavior due to lack of motivation but rather because of lagging skills which can be identified and collaboratively addressed. Wish I had read this book 30 years ago when I started working in schools!

fantastic book!
the author presents a very viable solution for schools that are relying on a discipline matrix that only issues punishment. It suggest that kids will make good decisions if they have the skills to do so, and if they don't, then it is our job to identify those skills and support the students in helping to develop them

Theory goes against the norm, but done very well.
Ross Greene goes against the norm with his views on why students misbehave, but he is very agreeable to those who have worked with difficult children. Occasionally I feel as if he does not empathize well with teachers, implying that we could be helping these troubled students much more with their unsolved problems if we dropped everything to go through his plans. However, there is strong merit to his suggestions as I have used his sentence frames verbatim and gotten results. Worth the listen for teachers genuinely trying to help troubled kids.

accompanying documents referred to??
This book would be great for me to bring on as a tool to share with my son's team of education professionals as they seem "lost in school.." AND I'm pretty much at my wits end here with the "consequences and rewards..." initiatives that I have witnessed the "professionals" trying over and over in different ways, but with different names...maybe not even giving them a chance to make a difference. I am confused as a grown adult..I can only imagine how my 5 year old feels. He has cognitive and developmental deficits which were diagnosed at age 2, along with Sensory difficulties, so he has been getting professional intervention from a young age. Might I add as well that he deals with inconsistencies from his father who decided that being a father wasn't what he wanted 2 days after we got home from the hospital after his birth, but the court insists that it's more Important to have him in his life inconsistent than not...My take is that he is hurting him more than doing good. He was not assigned a law guardian for whatever reason which I am actively advocating for as well. How can I advocate for one of your seminars in his school is my first question and my second question is how do I access all the documents that are referred to in the readings? I am ready to introduce these to his educators with or without a seminar. I am his BIGGEST advocate and I will NOT LET HIM GET LOST! HE IS MINE AND I AM HIS!
