The Explosive Child

The Explosive Child (2021) is a groundbreaking and scientific guide to dealing with children who react extremely to routine situations. Drawing on neuroscience and child psychology, Greene lays out a conceptual framework focused on the cause of the behavior, rather than the behavior itself. This framework can serve as a guide for frustrated parents who want to understand and address their child’s severe outbursts.

• Frustrated parents who feel like they've tried it all
• Caregivers and teachers who are concerned by a child's violent outbursts
• Anyone looking for a fresh and compassionate perspective on children's problematic behavior
