THE EXPLOSIVE CHILD

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; and helping your child develop the skills to be more flexible and handle frustration more adaptively.
