Description

It's a "one size fits all" approach. Greene seems to pompously promote himself and his ideas as if they are the ONLY way. He seems to dismiss ALL other parenting approaches. Reward and punishment programs don’t teach the skills of flexibility and frustration tolerance. Getting punished or not receiving rewards makes kids more frustrated, not less. Is there a likelihood that students who aren’t explosive will become explosive if you do not set an example? at a glance, I recognized that mastering the strategies recommended by this book would help me be more the parent I want to be, whether I have "explosive" children or not Teaching these skills takes less time than not teaching them. Some children automatically and inaccurately interpret their experiences and the intentions as ‘It’s not fair”, “You always blame me!”, ‘Nobody likes me,” “I’m stupid’. These interpretations can cause spontaneous combustion if unchallenged. See p 199–204 for samples of discussions with a child to disconfirm the above beliefs. Help child to look at exceptions through questioning.

A user-friendly, practical guide for parents trying to help difficult, explosive children. This book will be of enormous benefit to such children and their families." -- Michael Jellinek This is the central premise behind a proactive, positive parenting model called collaborative and proactive solutions (CPS), which is an empirically-supported, evidence-based treatment approach that really works to solve tough behavior challenges. Identifying Lagging SkillsIn this book – originally published in 2008 and now available in a revised second edition -- Dr. Greene extends the CPS model to schools, where obsolete and counterproductive strategies such as detention, expulsion, expulsion, and paddling are still way too common. This book and the CPS model have transformed discipline in countless schools, and if yours hasn’t been one of them…well, there’s no time like the present. Get good at Plan B. This is a new skill for both of you. As you start to develop muscle memory for solving problems collaboratively, your communication and relationship with your child will improve. Plan A - "Solving a problem unilaterally through the imposition of adult will." Spoiler alert: this is what you're probably doing already, and it's unlikely to work with children (and adults) who have a number of "lagging skills" - if it did, you wouldn't have any unsolved problems.

We are in the midst of a societal and public health crisis. We are losing our most vulnerable kids, largely due to perspectives that are outdated and counterproductive, and disciplinary practices that are punitive and exclusionary. Not all of the theories presented here were 'ah hah!' moments for me, however. Dr. Greene includes many examples of dialogue and situations throughout the book to elucidate his points. There is a lot of repetition and different ways of 'getting at the point'--indicating to me that he is well aware that part of the issues parents have with their children stem from their own difficulties understanding things. This is not written for academic consumption...anyone can read and understand this book with middle school reading skills and a few hours of time. Taking breaks from reading to implement the 'Plans' will obviously take longer than just plowing through the reading like I did. Executive Skills — planning, organisation, shifting cognitive set and separation of affect — using Proactive B can help with thisThat’s why we’re here. Lives in the Balance advocates for our most vulnerable kids, and helps caregivers see them through more accurate, productive lenses and intervene in evidence-based ways that are collaborative, proactive, non-punitive, non-exclusionary, and effective. Our free resources, trainings, and outreach and advocacy efforts are driving the paradigm shift all over the world.
