The Explosive Child (Sixth Edition)

Ross W. Greene, Ph.D.

A new approach for understanding and parenting easily frustrated, chronically inflexible children.

What is 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 parents feeling frustrated, scared, worried, and desperate for help.  Most of these parents have tried everything – reasoning, explaining, punishing, sticker charts, therapy, medication – but to no avail.  They can’t figure out why their children act the way they do; they wonder why the strategies that work for other kids don’t work for theirs; and they don’t know what to do instead.
