professionals who attempt to guide, teach, and work with difficult,
hard-to-manage, and easily frustrated children. . . . A must-read
for our children’s sake and ours.” — Thomas H. Ollendick

struggles with these children and enhancing their development. . .

genuine caring and compassion for these youngsters and their a
families.” — Robert Brooks, Ph.D. , author of The Self-Esteem
Teacher
“An insightful, sensitive portrayal of children who need help—and
how to help them.” — Myrna B. Shure
“A user-friendly, practical guide for parents trying to help
difficult, explosive children. This book will be of enormous
benefit to such children and their families.” — Michael

“All parents should read this book, especially those with children
who are out of control. Ross Greene presents a loving, rational,

could not recommend this book more highly.” — Edward Hallowell,
