Ross W. Greene Books

Renowned child psychologist explains how to cultivate a better parent-child relationship.

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?

An explosive child responds to routine problems with extreme frustration, resulting in outbursts such as crying, screaming, and destructive behavior. Parents often feel overwhelmed, having tried various strategies—reasoning, punishment, therapy, and medication—without success. They struggle to understand their child's behavior and why typical approaches fail. Dr. Ross Greene, a leading clinician in treating children with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, offers hope. He asserts that explosive children are not attention-seeking or manipulative; instead, they lack essential skills in flexibility, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving. This book presents a new framework for understanding these difficulties, grounded in neuroscience research. Dr. Greene explains why traditional parenting methods often fall short and introduces his Collaborative Problem Solving model. This approach emphasizes collaboration with explosive children to address the underlying issues causing their outbursts and teaches them the necessary skills they lack. Through compassionate insights and practical strategies, the book guides parents in effectively supporting their children and fostering their development.

Counsels parents and educators on how to best safeguard the interests of children with behavioral, emotional, and social challenges, in a guide that identifies the misunderstandings and practices that are contributing to a growing number of student failures.

"An astonishing 62% of teachers who have been teaching in the same school for 5 years report that behavior issues that interfere with teaching and learning have notably worsened. In response to this ever-growing issue, Ross Greene's groundbreaking Collaborative Problem Solving approach helps educators understand and help behaviorally challenging kids. With CPS, adults understand that behavioral challenges stem from lagging skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving. CPS represents a more compassionate productive approach to behavioral challenges. Lost & Found, 2nd Edition is a revised and updated guide that builds on renowned psychologist Dr. Ross Greene's landmark works, The Explosive Child and Lost At School. Greene provides educators with concrete steps to using CPS with students and bring attention to the shortcomings of traditional school discipline. The advice in the book is based upon Dr. Greene's vast experience of implementing the technique into schools and accounts of others who have proven the success of the technique. The new edition will feature updated examples and dialogues intended for modern-day classrooms, innovative approaches from his constantly evolving model, and other recent behavioral studies"-- Provided by publisher
