The Explosive Child: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children by Ross W. Greene

A revised and updated 6th edition, this book has a research-based approach to understanding and parenting children who frequently exhibit severe fits of temper such as crying, screaming, swearing, kicking, hitting, biting and other challenging behaviours in response to frustrations. In this book, the author explains that explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach to parenting. It provides a new conceptual framework for understanding their difficulties, based on research in the neurosciences,  teaching these children the skills they lack.
