The Explosive Child by Doctor Ross Greene. "As a frustrated parent of a child who has no control of his emotions this proved to be a wonderful book. It provides a solution for dealing with his explosions in a calm rational way before they happen. It also points out ways to recognize when he is starting to escalate."

The Out-of-Sync Child by Carol Stock Kranowitz, M.A. "I am so glad to finally find a book that explains my kid's sensory issues and how to deal with them! Why does he have the need to shovel snow in shorts and boots, sleep with piles of blankets and comforters, or even the need to have us restrain him to calm himself after a tantrum. We are more understanding now!"

Skills Training For Children with Behavior Problems by Michael L. Bloomquist. "This book comes highly recommended by a friend of ours. He takes children who are behaviorally challenged into his home, some of whom have reactive attachment disorder. He uses this book on a daily basis and has been very successful with it."

Raising Your Spirited Child by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka. "This book helped start us down the road to learning about our son's conditions. He is high spirited and we believed it was pointing towards ADHD after reading Kurcinka's explanation of the differences between a spirited child (who is able to process information rapidly) and a child with ADHD (who cannot). Even though he has now been diagnosed with ADHD we are able to use alot of the information in the book to help us deal with his issues."

Why Your Child Is Hyperactive by Ben F. Feingold, M.D. "Our son is hyperactive so I was interested in what Feingold had to say. I was a little skeptical at first. He believes that artificial food flavors and colorings cause hyperactivity. He has suggested a menu to tone it down and has been successful world wide. Personally we have noticed after reading this that when our son eats anything with red dye in it his hyperactivity skyrockets. We now read labels and limit his intake of dyes and colorings."
