An explosive child is one who frequently exhibits severe non-compliance, temper outbursts, and verbal or physical aggression. At last, Dr. Ross Greene offers help for you and your child. Now updated with new practical information, The Explosive Child lays out a sensitive, practical approach to helping your child at home and school, including:

• Reducing hostility and antagonism between the child and adults
• Anticipating situations in which the child is most likely to explode
• Creating an environment in which explosions are less likely to occur
• Focusing less on reward and punishment and more on communication and collaborative problem solving
• Helping your child develop the skills to be more flexible and handle frustration more adaptively.
