b'Dr. Ross Greene sits down with Dr. Meeker to discuss his book, The Explosive Child and the approach called\\nCollaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS). Dr. Greene discusses the problems and frustrations that make a child\\nexplosive or implosive. He explains that concerning behaviors are caused by unsolved problems and expectations and\\nif those problems are never solved, the behaviors are going to still exist until we find a solution. Medical diagnosis like\\nAutism Spectrum Disorder do not tell us everything we need to know about a child. Each child is unique in the way they\\nprocess unsolved problems or expectations.\\nSome topics covered:\\n\\u2022 The collaborative and proactive solutions model is just as applicable to impulsive kids as it is to the explosive kids.\\n\\u2022 Concerning behaviors are simply the means, by which the kid is communicating that there is an expectation they are\\nhaving trouble meeting.\\n\\u2022 Finding solutions to the unsolved problems.\\n\\u2022 Identify certain expectations causing the unsolved problem(s).\\n\\u2022 Engage kids in the process of solving problems in a way that they\\u2019re heard, the caregiver is heard, and we are\\ncoming up with solutions that must address the concerns of both parties.\\nMENTIONS\\nwww.livesinthebalance.org\\nBooks: The Explosive Child, Lost At School, Lost and Found\\nFROM THE PRODUCER\\nThanks for listening to Episode #181, The Explosive Child and for helping Dr. Meg\\u2019s parenting revolution reach more\\nthan SEVEN MILLION downloads!
