Introduction

Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded.

– Jess Lair

These little folks are wonderful creatures here on earth. No doubt they can get wild sometimes, but that doesn’t mean they are unlovable and, most importantly, hard to comprehend. Judging by the fact that you’re hovering over books like Explosive Children, it can be understood that you are dealing with one, unfortunately.

I’ll tell you this – imagine a toddler throwing tantrums all the damn time and in every damn place. Sound familiar? Now picture this: I had a long day at work and when I reached the doorknob of my house’s main gate, I saw the light of my lounge blinking abruptly. Startled by the way it looked from the outside, I stepped into my house anxiously to see my better half sitting on the chair right next to the kitchen with his hand covering his temples. He looked way too frustrated and, to be honest, I had never seen him like this before. I asked what the matter was, to which he replied that our 4-year-old had been having one of his tantrums and reached his extreme today.

In a rage of anger, he threw his little Hot Wheels car directly at the light bulb that sparked and shattered instantly. Our concern was not the light bulb that day, but the rage and the extreme emotions that my little one expressed. It was a light bulb today, but what could it be tomorrow? To what heights would Simon go and damage things around him in his fits of rage?

We came upon the mutual understanding that we won’t let our little Simon go any farther from this phase of his anger. We decided we would deal with this problem as our topmost priority and see where we went wrong to make Simon intensely emotional. To our surprise, we found out that it was not our fault or something wrong with how we were parenting; it was rather his cognitive development, where he lacked a few important skills. Since then, we were able to get to the bottom of this very condition and deal with our baby more attentively. That ultimately helped us to deal with our explosive child more effectively and we never faced any serious tantrums such as the light bulb incident ever again.

Do you want to know how? Of course, you do. However, before that, I would like you to know that you are not alone in this. Your child is not the first child in the world to be hard to handle. There are a lot more kids like yours who get left behind due to their cognitive underdevelopment and usually parents never become aware of it. They believe it is just a usual tantrum thing and treat it with whatever they find adoptable at the table presently. The first thing most parents do when their children engage in rebellious or aggressive conduct is plan A, which involves imposing their will on an unwilling toddler. What exactly is the issue? No, plan A isn't going to work. Plan B parents have a significantly greater chance of correcting their children's behavioral issues by adopting a more engaged and assertive parenting approach.

Why Should You Read This Book?

Dealing with explosive children gets on your nerves. Sometimes, it gets rough and frustrating, and you feel like giving up motherhood or fatherhood for that reason alone. It is perfectly okay to be overwhelmed by those feelings, but you should know that you can fix the issue.

Explosive children require delicate attention and a few important things which will help their behavioral development. This book details those few important things which are going to serve you as a key to deal with your mini hulk. From phases of parenting to the three Ds of dealing with explosive children, you are going to learn so much.

Rest assured, there is no rocket science involved. These are just some basic steps and knowledge which were researched thoroughly to help you understand your child better than ever, ultimately bridging the gap between behavioral development and cognitive skills development in your kid.

So, grab a nice cup of coffee while your little monster is fast asleep or out and about. Get as much as you can from this book as it is going to change your lives, as well as the way you parent, forever.

How do I tell if my kid is explosive? is a question that is often asked by parents. There will be no blood tests performed. Children who are explosive are simply those who grow angry considerably more readily and often than regular children, and who express their irritation in much more severe ways (crying, shouting, hitting, throwing punches, scratching and hurting, and damaging property) than normal children.

To be quite honest, I've never really liked the phrase. In the first place, the term explosive indicates that these children's outbursts are abrupt and unexpected, which is not always the case – and this could be difficult to accept at first – but is generally accurate the majority of the time. The second point is that, whereas many behaviorally demanding children erupt when they're furious (screaming and cursing as well as punching, kicking, biting, and spitting), many others collapse instead (crying, having panic attacks, and being cranky, withdrawn, and irritable).

In other words, even though the book's title refers to youngsters who are exploding, collapsing, or a mix of both, the tactics presented herein are appropriate for use with all children.

Chapter 1: Digging the Roots

brown roots

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. –Frederick Douglass

It may seem weird to say, but there has never been a good opportunity to be a parent or a professional who works with a kid who has behavioral challenges. The reason for this is because a vast amount of study on neurologically demanding children has been gathered over the last 40–50 years, yet we all know quite a bit more about why they are problematic and how to treat them than we have at any previous time in history.

There is a wealth of fresh information that may help parents better understand their children's issues, and those new insights can help them react more compassionately, productively, and effectively. What a relief! To complicate matters, because you may have been using other lenses for quite some time, you will need to have an open mind while looking at the world through these new ones. While this book's techniques may be difficult to follow at first, they might also signify a shift in parenting style, which is something you may not have been used to.

As a result, you'll need to have an open mind as well as patience (both with yourself and with your kid) as you experiment with different methods of engaging and solving difficulties. Parents of children with behavioral issues should read this book to feel more positive and confident in their ability to handle their children's troubles. If you happen to be the child's grandmother or grandfather's teacher or neighbor or coach or psychologist, this book should at the very least help you comprehend.

Diagnosing Explosiveness – Why is He or She Like That?

Tantrums and meltdowns are particularly worrying when they arise quite often, quite severely, or beyond the age at which they have been
