The Explosive Child [Sixth Edition]

This groundbreaking, research-based guide by distinguished clinician and pioneer Dr. Ross W. Greene offers a compassionate and practical approach to understanding and parenting children who exhibit chronic inflexibility and frequent, severe frustration, including extreme outbursts like tantrums, aggression, and property destruction. With over one million copies sold, this updated edition provides a new conceptual framework based on neuroscience to help parents move beyond traditional discipline methods.

Dr. Greene explains that children exhibiting these challenging behaviors are not attention-seeking or manipulative, but rather lack crucial skills in flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving. This book details why common parenting strategies often fail and introduces a different, effective model for support.
