"Another discipline book I almost finished reading! I can tell I have an explosive child on my hands, but this book made me feel a lot better about my personal situation. It could be a lot worse! However, the solution proposed by the book - a sort of negotiation with your child - has not worked in our household. I suppose we just can't get over the notion that we should be in charge. Period.
So... the explosions continue. I'm hoping he grows out of it!"
"I changed my mind - not so amazing. The beginning was insightful and promising, but the whole book felt like more of the same. And as I started trying to apply the principles, I realized that Carver still has a lot of logical thought in his meltdowns and there was no way he was going to communicate any sort of warning before freaking out. That's the WHOLE problem!! The explosive children in this book have great verbal skills to be able to talk about their feelings and that's a pretty hefty prerequisite. I can't depend on a pre-meltdown conversation to avoid an explosion, but I can certainly do what I can. And at least Carver can be talked out of it explosions almost all the time. It made me grateful that he is as manageable as he is!"
"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."
