Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Explosive and noncompliant children and adolescents present significant challenges to parents and cause distress to all family members. Such children tend to be quite misunderstood and their behavioral challenges are often poorly addressed by traditional discipline strategies which conceive such challenges as attention-seeking, willful, and manipulative. Research suggests that such children may actually lack cognitive skills essential to handling frustration, solving problems, and mastering situations requiring flexibility and adaptability. In other words, the difficulties of these children may be best understood as a learning disability. Naturally, if a child is lacking crucial cognitive skills, the goal for parents and other adults is to teach those skills. In this two-hour program, Dr. Ross Greene (author of The Explosive Child) and his colleague, Dr. Stuart Ablon, help parents understand the specific cognitive skill deficits that can impair a child's capacities for flexibility and frustration tolerance and provide step-by-step guidance on their approach -- known as Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) -- for teaching these skills. This video features live interviews with parents of behaviorally challenging children and provides answers to many of the common questions parents have about the CPS approach.

Teaches parents how to deal with their explosive kids
I purchased this video, as well as Dr. Green's book on working with explosive children. I bought these out of frustration in dealing with my 7 year old grandson's behavior and explosive outbursts. My first reaction to this video was disappointment that it was just 'talking heads' and didn't offer the kind of visual effects we're used to seeing in 'how-to' videos. But then I sat back and focused on the content because I am so committed to helping my grandson. By listening carefully to these experts, as well as to the panel of parents who shared their personal experiences, I began to put all the pieces together about the Collaborative Problem Solving approach that they advocate. Between the book and video, I have shared this information with my daughter and son in law and we are all looking at how we can work together to address these behavioral issues. This is not a fancy video, but the information contained in it is priceless for adults who are dealing with explosive children.
