Product Description
From the author of The Defiant Child comes the first book to connect From the author of the groundbreaking The Defiant Child comes the first book to connect explosive behavior?when kids go from Jekyll to Hyde and back in the blink of an eye?with its underlying causes
Does your hitting, kicking, screaming child explode with so little provocation that you can't help but wonder if he's possessed? Are his extreme tantrums becoming the stuff of playground legend? And are you about to lose your job because his daycare or school repeatedly asks you to pick him up early?
Dr. Douglas Riley's ear-to-the-ground insights will give much-needed help to desperate parents who have one overriding question: Why does my child act like this? This compassionate yet no-nonsense therapist explains that explosive behavior is the mere tip of the iceberg. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all strategy, Dr. Riley identifies the eleven most common causes of explosions and accordingly tailors his treatment strategies to address the underlying cause of the behavior.
What Your Explosive Child Is Trying to Tell You is a lifeline for parents who are at their wits' end.
DR. DOUGLAS RILEY is a clinical psychologist whose practice focuses on children and adolescents who are explosive, oppositional, depressed, or have difficulties with concentration and learning. He is the author of The Defiant Child: A Parent's Guide to Oppositional Defiant Disorder as well as The Depressed Child: A Parent's Guide for Rescuing Kids.

Do yourself a favor, buy and read this book! September 6, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have a six year old daughter who is on the Autistic Spectrum. For years, her behavior has made me want to throw myself in front a bus. I have read so many books promising answers to our problems but none offered more than temporary relief for us and our daughter. This all changed when I read and applied Dr. Riley's recommendations. Although not written specifically for special needs children this book answered our prayers and more. Dr. Riley's techniques turned our explosive child into a model child and peace has reigned throughout our household for weeks now. As stated earlier, I have read much on this topic and have never found anything as easy to apply and easy for our daughter to put into practice. His "brain game" is shear genius! Dr. Riley will forever be in my heart and I am eternally thankful that he has written something that provides so much to so many. If you are struggling with an explosive child there is nothing you can do to improve you and your child's life like reading and implementing Dr. Riley's techniques. I hope for the best for you and your children.
