Book Reviews of The Explosive Child: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children
Book Review: A Great Companion to Bipolar Disorder Books
Summary: 4 Stars
I write books on bipolar disorder treatment for adults- when someone asks me about the illness in children, I always have to admit that children are not my area of expertise. The illness manifests so differently when a child starts symptoms so young. The Explosive Child filled in a lot of grey areas in my work.
I always tell parents to read this book for insight into why a child may be violent, can't sooth themselves, is angry, oppositional and almost always frustrated. It helps the parent have compassion for the pain they see in their children. I learned so much about self soothing difficulty and the intensity of crying the children described in this book go through. It's so different that with adults. I'm not saying that children with explosive reactions to situations have bipolar disorder- not at all, but I feel that all parents who think their child might have bipolar disorder should read this book before making any decisions. It's a much needed resource in the mental health field.
