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.

This is the best approach I have seen yet. I have seen them all. And none worked as well. It is a way to teach m son to not only think about himself but also how he impacts other people. I highly recommend this as well as the book. Depending on what way you learn this is good for me. Other people can do with book alone.
Dr. Green and Dr. Ablon also give seminars. Well worth attending if able to.
