The Explosive Child

This book offers a groundbreaking approach to understanding and parenting children who frequently exhibit severe fits of temper and other intractable behaviors. Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in this field, has worked with thousands of explosive children and offers a new conceptual framework for understanding their behavior. He demonstrates why traditional treatments don't work for these kids and shows parents specific, practical ways they can recognize the signs of an impending explosion, defuse tension, and reduce frustration levels for the entire family. For parents, psychologists, educators and ADHD groups.
