About this deal

Either the author assumes that his method is the only thing that CAN work or that his method is your end-of-the-road option. There are only 2 ways in which consequences are useful: (1) to teach basic lessons about right from wrong. Greene helps parents maintain the balance between helping kids figure out who they are – their skills, preferences, beliefs, values, personality, goals and direction – and ensuring that kids benefit from parents’ experience, wisdom, and values. Without the strong recommendation from a trusted friend I would have missed out in the insight offered by the Explosive Child. But these kids are in a bad mood a lot, so they have trouble handling frustration and solving problems a lot, too.

Empathy and Reassurance is crucial for these children because they often overreact when faced with the realisation their rigid notions about how events should unfold will not be fulfilled. This method doesn't put the kid in charge of the adult but focuses the parenting responsibility on being the child's surrogate frontal lobe and helping them learn the skills they need in life to navigate transitions, emotions, organization, and problem solving. My son's short fuse is gaining length as long as I keep remembering that although it seems like I'm giving up parenting power, I am actually getting more power in a less hyper-vigilant way and I have learned that “kids do well if they can. This book helped explain why my 9 year old son is behaving the way he is, and provides a method to help him improve. What they need is not punishment, but help identifying and strengthening the deficient skills that are to blame.He focuses on solving underlying problems rather than bad behavior, because if you solve the problem then the behavior should improve as a result. As a matter of fact, I liked the way he downplayed the importance and value of a diagnosis almost entirely. If you predict that a particular trigger will lead to an explosion, you are being realistic and can focus on the bigger stuff. Plan C: It involves modifying, adapting, or setting aside an unsolved problem, at least temporarily. When you parent collaboratively and proactively, you are simultaneously improving behavior and teaching kids the skills they need next time a challenge rises up.

Children may exhibit poor behavior for any variety of reasons, so there’s no right or wrong way to explain t and no one-size-fits-all approach to changing it. Disclaimer: Yes, I am a physician, but I’m not your doctor and this article does not create a doctor-patient relationship.

I don't know if it's new - it seemed logical and simple enough, but I think the author's presentation is so clear that you will benefit from the book even if you are already trying to solve problems with your child collaboratively. So I'm reviewing this as an outsider to the problem---I'm just the one rolling my eyes at the bad parents in a restaurant who won't keep their kids under control and ruin my night out. With each time-out, detention, suspension, expulsion, paddling, restraint, seclusion, and arrest at school, there are children who aren’t getting the help they need and are being pushed away from caregivers who could instead be helping them. Standard behavior management may help but some find they don’t help the child to change his behavior and can lead to an increase in explosive behavior.

The Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (ASLUP) was enlightening for my husband and me.Need to understand what makes it hard for the child to ‘do well’ keeping in mind that children ‘do well if they can. Second, while many behaviorally challenging kids explode when they’re frustrated (screaming, swearing, hitting, kicking, biting, spitting, and so forth), many others implode instead (crying, sulking, pouting, having anxiety attacks, and being blue and withdrawn or cranky and irritable).
