Sometimes parents are forced to admit: no explanations, arguments, rewards and punishments work on their child.

Children with a “heavy temper”—easily irritated, poorly in control of their behavior, unable to endure emotional stress—neither additional motivation nor tighter control helps. The child is already aware that it is necessary to behave well, but he … does not succeed. “Children behave well if they can,” said Ross W. Green, a clinical psychologist at Harvard Medical School. In his opinion, the ugly behavior of explosive children is due to a delay in the development of adaptability and self-control skills. The method developed by the author of the book helps such children gradually learn to control their emotions, regulate behavior, and prevent outbursts of anger.
