 Parenting the explosive child October 3, 2008
This is a great resource for parents and residential staff who work with explosive children.
Excellent Information and Advice November 26, 2007

If you don't feel like you have the time to sit and read a book, but you might be able to find 2 hours to watch a video, this might be for you. Although the information and advice presented is excellent, you'll have to put up with a very boring presentational format. Personally, I prefer Dr. Greene's books or attending one of his workshops.
BRILLIANT THEORY AND TREATMENT BUT .................. May 11, 2007
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
As a clinical supervisor working in an outpatient treatment center I found the "collaborative problem solving method" a brilliant way of viewing and treating behaviorally challenged kids behaviors. I have read the books by Dr. Greene on this after having attended one of his lectures some years ago. I also bought the video and tapes for myself and the staff I work with. I am teaching all of the staff I supervise this method among others for treatment of kids with anger issues as I find it very effective and the results are great so far. HOWEVER the video is long, rather dry, and hard to understand for parents and seems more geared towards professionals. There is no powerpoint and very little in the way of graphics. You basically get to watch and listen to the two presenters and occassionally see the parents sitting in chairs for 2 hours. For someone with one of the possible "executive pathway" difficulties described in the training it is a hard video to watch. You would think the very people who preach understanding kids with problems with auditory processing issues would create a more interactive and dynamic video to address these issues. All of that negative aside though, the information provided is excellent, the theory sound, and you will probably get a lot out of it. If nothing else you will look at your child's behaviors very differently (in a good way) after seeing this. I recommend reading his book "The Explosive Child" first so you have enough background to really benefot from this video. One other note, getting kids to buy into this treatment is the easy part, getting parents to follow through is the real challenge.
Helpful for any child August 25, 2006

"Parenting the Explosive Child" presents a practical, step-by-step approach to "discipline" that would be beneficially for any child. Throughout the movie Dr. Greene and Dr. Ablon explain the effects of anger on the child's thought process then give an easy to follow method to help the child think rationally even when upset. This approach helps to develop critical thinking in the child and objective thinking in the parent - both parent and child benefit.
Though I would highly recommend this video, there are flaws. The information is excellent but the delivery is boring and sometimes difficult to understand. As a visual learner I was disappointed by the lecture style delivery and the lack of graphics in this movie. I also found the language was rather high - even with my two University degrees I had to try to look up a word in the dictionary, and with my written receptive/expressive language disorder (I can't spell), that was no easy task.
The best video for PDD children. October 30, 2005
25 out of 25 found this review helpful
My son has Asperger Syndrome and this is the best video I have ever seen about how to handle the explosive times. Which is caused from high anxiety and frustration. Not from bad parenting; wanting to get his way; or wanting to not listen. I agree that the first hour is a bit long with a lot of repeating. But the second hour is excellent advice and guidence. Real life saver information for any parent, teacher, etc. of a child with PDD like Asperger Syndrome.
