Many adults that are faced with
a child or teenager's
explosiveness are uncertain of
how to respond. Should I
punish him for the outburst?
Do I try to be understanding of
how she is feeling and overlook
her ugly behavior? In
reality, these children are have
difficulty managing their anger
and need to be taught the skills
necessary for coping with
frustrating situations that
demand flexibility. The
lack of these cognitive skills
contributes to the angry
outbursts.
Calming the Tempest
provides parents, teachers, and
caretakers with an understanding
of, and an overview on, how to
teach these skills at home and
school. This DVD features
Ross Greene, Ph.D. and Stuart
Ablon, Ph.D., co-directors of
the Center for Collaborative
Problem Solving.
