"I would buy this book--it is very helpful, and offers great insight into what your child is thinking and why he/she does what he does. I also liked that it focused more on understanding the behaviors and being able to deal with them, rather than providing the "easy" answer of medication all the time. EXCELLENT book!!!"
"It's always nice to read a book that takes clinical understanding and translates it into everyday language so immediately and clearly. The approaches in this book will not only help the parents of an explosive child, but any adult who is responsible for another human being, whether in the capacity of management, teaching, or otherwise. Learning how to utilize empathy and collaborative problem solving is a life skill that I wish our politicians would have some training in!"
"I loved the philosophy of this author, that children do well if they can. He helped me understand some of the challenging behaviors Robbie sometimes has and how to deal with them. He said to first figure out what some of the things are that trigger an explosion. For Robbie that might be a sibling taking a toy away from him, turning the TV off to do homework, etc. Then he described plan A, C, and B for dealing with the explosion. A is insisting on your way. C is dropping the expectation entirely, and B is a problem solving approach where you first show empathy by relating back to the child their feelings. Then you put both your concern and his concerns on the table. Then you invite the child to try and come up with solutions that are doable and mutually satisfactory. It was one of the best parenting books I have read because it addressed problems I encounter all the time with my easily frustrated child. I am thinking about buying it for Robbie's school teachers and principal."
