The Explosive Child [Sixth Edition]: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children

Now in a revised and updated 6th edition, this groundbreaking, research-based guide explains how to understand and parent children who frequently exhibit severe temper outbursts and challenging behaviors. An explosive child responds to routine problems with extreme frustration—crying, screaming, swearing, kicking, hitting, biting, spitting, and destroying property—leaving parents feeling helpless despite trying reasoning, punishment, therapy, or medication. Dr. Ross Greene, a pioneer in treating kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, explains that these children aren’t manipulative or unmotivated, but lack crucial skills like flexibility, frustration tolerance, and problem solving. This compassionate and practical book introduces the Collaborative Problem Solving model, a research-backed approach that replaces rewards and punishment with working together to solve the problems that trigger explosive episodes and teaching the skills children are missing.
