An explosive child's behavior: severe noncompliance, temper outbursts, and verbal or physical aggression, often leaves parents feeling frustrated, guilt-ridden, and overwhelmed.  Dr. Greene helps you gain the confidence and knowledge you need to handle these situations competently and lovingly.  He provides a sensitive, practical approach to helping your child at home and at school, including:

• Understanding the factors that contribute to your child's explosions.
• Reducing hostility and antagonism between the child and adults.
• Anticipating situations in which the child is most likely to explode.
• Focusing less on reward and punishment and more on communication and collaborative problem-solving.
• Helping you child develop the skills to be more flexible and handle frustration more adaptively.
