Revised and Updated Fourth Edition
by Ross W. Greene, Ph.D.
We’ve all seen them: children who explode when things don’t go their way. And we usually conclude that they’re spoiled, manipulative, or both.
This groundbreaking book argues that explosive behavior stems from developmental deficits in two critical skills: flexibility and frustration tolerance. It explains why strategies that work for most children aren’t effective with inflexible-explosive children. Using persuasive case examples, the author explains how to reduce hostility, anticipate problems, encourage communication, teach self-regulation skills, and create an environment in which explosive behavior is less likely to occur.
For an individualized intervention plan, take a look at Treating Explosive Kids: The Collaborative Problem-Solving Approach by Ross W. Greene and J. Stuart Ablon. This practical guide presents a detailed framework for effective, personalized intervention. It includes vivid case examples, Q&A sections, and suggestions for classroom remediation.
