Now in a revised and updated 6th edition, the groundbreaking, research-based approach to understanding and parenting children who frequently exhibit severe fits of temper and other challenging behaviors, from a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the field.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 behavioral 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.About the AuthorGreene, Ross W.: - Ross W. Greene, Ph.D., is the originator of the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model described in this book, an approach he has researched extensively, along with colleagues throughout the world. Dr. Greene served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School for over 20 years, and is currently Founding Director of the non-profit Lives in the Balance and adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Virginia Tech. He consults extensively to families, schools, and therapeutic facilities and lectures widely internationally. Vast free resources on the CPS approach can be found on the Lives in the Balance website (www.livesinthebalance.org).

You have in your hands a book that is my humble reflection on one of the deepest wounds in the hearts of men and women, rich and poor, the ordained clergy and the laity, the believer and the unbeliever - the "father wound." In my travels throughout the United States, Latin America, Korea and other countries, I have seen this wound in a very substantial number of people that have attended my retreats, in counseling, in "chance meetings" that seemed at first just a coincidence - when in fact they were God-incidences. When one is wounded, one does not really "see" life well. He or she cannot enjoy his journey of life. Indeed, my experience and those of many others who have shared their similar experiences with me, is that one's wounds are so "loud" or so large that the vantage point of life is obscured. Such people "see" through a lens clouded with fears, self-hatred, insecurity, shame and have built a wall around one's heart that is their way trying to be self-sufficient and strong. Life often is a battle of survival, of fighting against inner turmoil. One cannot see the beauty of God's plan. Often, if God the Father's dream is experienced within one's heart at all, it plays more like a "nightmare." In these pages I want to open my heart and share my own journey of healing from my own father wound. It is NOTHING like a three-hour movie that begins and then hours later ends with the words - THE END. Our hearts are mysterious with seasons, like the seasons of our year. And at first, we do not understand the various seasons found there. Yet we slowly grow to understand that this wound did not just appear overnight, so it will not heal overnight either. We are, as Scriptures say in Jeremiah, clay in the Father's hands: "'Can I not do to you, ... as this potter has done?' says the LORD. Indeed, like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand..." (Jer 18:6) This clay must be turned over and over again by events that expose our brokenness. Likewise, this earth of our hearts must be turned over so our hearts will become fertile with each season of tears. I would like to let you peek into my heart. It was once a heart with a crater-size father wound. With time and after a strong conversion experience where my Lord Jesus became more real than life itself, I was slowly and gently taken deeply into my heart by the Divine Healer and Creator of our hearts. This process involved some counseling but mostly through the great "I AM" found in every tabernacle of every Catholic Church. In the upcoming pages I will share with you also my heart felt discovery of learning to love as a spiritual father - about "fathering" spiritual sons and daughters in an age where so many live in houses where they are not really noticed by their parents. I will also discuss my initial encounter with my Papa and what it has been to be fathered by Him. My life has become a sharing of my daily events with my Father. It is no longer me facing every new challenge on my own, but He and me ("Us") together walking the "narrow" path. I wish I could just sit with you over a cup of coffee and just talk and help you listen to your own heart. This is not possible, so we must accept the medium of this book to assist in enabling God's work to be completed in us. It is a book that is written with simplicity because God is so perfectly simple Himself, so much so that we can never wrap our understanding around Him. So, let Jesus come to you. ASK Him to come close to you. Be not afraid! He is the Divine Healer who reveals to us the Father's face. You who hold this book in your hands are called to be a saint - to live in the Sonship of Jesus. Be not afraid! You are the Father's.
