The Explosive Child: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children

---

What is an explosive child? It's a child who reacts to everyday challenges with intense frustration—manifesting as crying, screaming, swearing, kicking, hitting, biting, spitting, and even destroying property. These severe outbursts can leave parents feeling overwhelmed, frightened, and desperate for solutions. Many have exhausted various strategies—reasoning, explaining, punishing, using sticker charts, therapy, and medication—without success. They struggle to understand their child's behavior, question why techniques that work for others don't apply to them, and feel uncertain about what to do next.

Dr. Ross Greene, a respected clinician and innovator in addressing the needs of children with social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties, has worked with countless explosive children and offers a hopeful perspective. He asserts that these children are not attention-seeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, nor are their parents simply permissive. Instead, explosive kids often lack essential skills in flexibility, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving. This understanding calls for a different approach to parenting, one that focuses on developing these crucial abilities.
