This class is for parents/caregivers of children who are easily frustrated, extremely inflexible, lose control, and become verbally and/or physically aggressive. The course is based on the work of Ross W. Greene, Ph.D., author of The Explosive Child. Caregivers will learn how to understand and handle explosive behaviors and prevent meltdowns, establish realistic expectations, improve parent interactions, and how to help their child recognize, express, and think through frustrations.
