This book gives a very good explanation and description of the explosive child, but is short on solutions. It is all about using "Plan B" proactively, i.e., you figure out what is going to trigger your child, and then collaborate with them to find a mutually acceptable solution to the problem before it happens. Or you can use it in an "emergency" to try to diffuse the situation before they blow up. There is also a chapter about medication. I would have like to see more specific examples and advice. I still have many unanswered questions after reading this book. Overall, I would say it is worth reading, but you will be left wanting more.

This book has been an excellent help for our family. With 2 ADHD kids with Generalized Anxiety disorder and mood disorder, Greene's book helped us to construct a framework to work by and bring some order to our chaotic home.
