The Explosive Child [Sixth Edition]
A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children
Ross W. Greene
The book provides a compassionate approach to parenting children who exhibit challenging behaviors due to poor frustration tolerance and inflexibility, introducing the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) method to help parents and educators work with these children to solve problems collaboratively and build skills. It emphasizes understanding the underlying deficits in flexibility, problem-solving, and frustration tolerance, rather than relying on traditional reward-and-punishment strategies.
