Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I am glad, Bonnie, that you mentioned this book ( " The Explosive Child " ). I is really great. The approach described in this book helped us survive without medications for many years. It is great for dealing with easily frustrated, inflexible and explosive children.
