Children who behave atypically are a challenge to parents and teachers. These two videos present creative solutions to apply with children who have trouble in their home or school environment. While the videos use a lecture format, the dynamic speakers hold the viewer's attention with humor, anecdotes, and the presentation of interesting ideas. Ross W. Greene, director of cognitive-behavioral psychology at Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School, presents a two-hour seminar for the Cleveland Clinic's Health Talks series on explosive and noncompliant children. Greene favors a better approach than the reward and punishment method and presents his "children do well if they can" idea by emphasizing five basic strategies for parents and teachers to employ, including how to avoid "meltdowns." Offered in a clear, well-spoken manner, Greene's explanations and anecdotes are to the point, witty, and enlightening. By Carol Stock Kranowitz, the author of the book of the same title, The Out-of-Sync Child discusses the manifestations and causes of sensory integration dysfunction whereby preschool children exhibit behaviors that indicate all of their sensory apparatus are not processing correctly. Kranowitz presents strategies for parents and preschool teachers, such as fun movements to music and games to increase children's sensory development. Kranowitz's involving presentation includes a video of her using various sensory-engaging techniques with her class of three- to five-year-olds. Both of these videos are highly recommended for parenting collections in public libraries or education/psychology collections in academic libraries.-Trudie A. Root, Pinellas Cty.
