Description du livre

What's 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 his or her 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 child acts the way he or she does; they wonder why the strategies that work for other kids don't work for theirs; and they don't know what to do instead. Dr. Ross Greene a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social emotional and behavioural challenges has worked with thousands of explosive children and he has good news: these kids aren't attention-seeking manipulative or unmotivated and their parents aren't passive permissive pushovers. Rather explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability frustration tolerance and problem solving and they require a different approach to parenting. Throughout this compassionate insightful and practical book Dr. Greene provides a new conceptual framework for understanding their difficulties based on research in the neurosciences. He explains why traditional parenting and treatment often don't work with these children and he describes what to do instead. Instead of relying on rewarding and punishing Dr. Greene's Collaborative Problem Solving model promotes working with explosive children to solve the problems that precipitate explosive episodes and teaching these kids the skills they lack.
