"Building on the legacy of Drs. Suzanne D. Dixon and Martin T. Stein, Dixon and Stein's Encounters with Children, Fifth Edition, offers a unique, how-to approach to understanding the developmental stages of childhood, providing practical strategies for today's clinicians who interact with children and families. Unlike pathology-focused pediatrics texts, this compact volume examines typical child development and offers expert guidance on childhood stages, developmental challenges, family wellbeing, and social determinants of health. From the neonatal visit and newborn exam through the late adolescent years, this highly regarded reference provides thorough, evidence-based guidance with an emphasis on relationships as central to a child's wellbeing.

| The Explosive Child, 6th edition. (Book - ON ORDER) |
The Explosive Child [Sixth Edition] (CURRENTLY ON ORDER) by
Now in a revised and updated 6th edition, the groundbreaking, research-based approach to understanding and parenting children who frequently exhibit severe fits of temper and other challenging behaviors, from a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the field. What's an explosive child A child who responds to routine problems with extreme frustration--crying, screaming, swearing, kicking, hitting, biting, spitting, destroying property, and worse. A child whose frequent, severe outbursts leave his or her parents feeling frustrated, scared, worried, and desperate for help. Most of these parents have tried everything-reasoning, explaining, punishing, sticker charts, therapy, medication--but to no avail. They can't figure out why their child acts the way he or she does; they wonder why the strategies that work for other kids don't work for theirs; and they don't know what to do instead. Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids aren't attention-seeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren't passive, permissive pushovers. Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach to parenting. Throughout this compassionate, insightful, and practical book, Dr. Greene provides a new conceptual framework for understanding their difficulties, based on research in the neurosciences. He explains why traditional parenting and treatment often don't work with these children, and he describes what to do instead. Instead of relying on rewarding and punishing, Dr. Greene's Collaborative Problem Solving model promotes working with explosive children to solve the problems that precipitate explosive episodes, and teaching these kids the skills they lack.
