The Explosive Child Ross W. Greene defines an inflexible-explosive child as a child who is unable to “shift gears and think clearly in the midst of frustration”(Greene 1998). His book The Explosive Child is a book that gives many examples of many different children who in situations are IE. The book is a good tool for parents or people who work with children who need help when it comes to dealing with inflexible and explosive children. The examples he gives throughout the book are good when trying to see what will and what won’t work for the individual child. The idea of giving in to these IE children is not what Greene says in the book. I think that the main idea that Greene is going for is that as a parent you need to decide what to make the issue of, knowing that it child, book, good, children, might, explosive, parents, need, greene, work, think, meltdown, inflexible, idea, gives, examples, even, difficult, works, won’t, way, unable, trying, tool, throughout, therapist’s, therapists, therapist, test, tell, teachers, tat, stories, situations
