The Explosive Child: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible ...

Harper Paperbacks, 2005

Great Book, Big Help!
I loved this book. I have to say I was skeptical at first, as I felt the author was talking down to the reader, however, I was being over sensitive. As the mother of an adhd child, often a person gets over sensitive to percieved criticism when none is really there. ...
