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 complete guide to a paradigm-shifting model of school discipline. Disruptive students need problem-solving skills, not punishment.

A bold new way to help anyone change Why is it so hard to change problem behavior—in our kids, our colleagues, and even ourselves? Conventional methods often backfire, creating a downward spiral of resentment and frustration, and a missed opportunity for growth. What if the thinking behind these old methods is wrong? What if people don’t misbehave because they want to, but because they lack the skills to do better? Or as renowned psychologist J. Stuart Ablon asks, what if changing problem behavior is a matter of skill, not will? Based on more than twenty-five years of clinical work with juvenile offenders as well training parents, teachers, counselors and law enforcement, and supported by research in neuroscience, Changeable presents a radical new way of thinking about challenging and unwanted behavior -- Collaborative Problem Solving -- that builds empathy, helps others reach their full potential, and most of all really works. With illuminating scientific evidence, remarkable success stories, and actionable insights, Changeable gives parents, teachers, CEOs and anyone interested in learning about why we behave the way we do a roadmap for helping people grow. *Includes a Bonus PDF with charts and graphs.

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.
