Ross W. Greene – författare

Barn som har svårt att leva upp till omgivningens förväntningar reagerar ofta med utmanande beteenden. Det kan handla om att skrika, slåss eller svära, men också om att dra sig undan, gråta eller tjura. Dessa beteenden kan få föräldrar och andra vuxna i barnets omgivning att känna sig maktlösa, frustrerade och i stort behov av hjälp.I denna kraftigt omarbetade och uppdaterade upplaga av Explosiva barn förklarar Ross W. Greene varför barn beter sig så här och visar hur föräldrar och skolpersonal kan bemöta barn med utmanande beteende på ett positivt sätt, utan bestraffningar och fiendskap.I boken beskrivs hur du kan:förstå de faktorer som bidrar till utmanande episoderidentifiera de specifika situationer där de utmanande episoderna vanligtvis uppstårminska eller eliminera de utmanande episoderna genom att lösa de problem som orsakar demlösa problem genom samarbete (snarare än ensidigt) och proaktivt (snarare än reaktivt)hjälpa barnet att utveckla färdigheter för att kunna agera mer flexibelt i olika situationer, lösa problem och hantera frustration på ett mer adekvat sättminska motsättningarna mellan dig och barnet.Boken vänder sig till alla som i sin vardag kommer i kontakt med barn med utmanande beteende.

Med sin fasta övertygelse om att alla barn uppför sig väl om de kan, ger Ross W. Greene stöd åt lärare som upplever att de inte alltid räcker till för de elever som behöver dem mest. Eleverna själva vill inget hellre än att kunna hantera de sociala, känslomässiga och beteendemässiga krav som ställs på dem i skolan och i livet. Många har dock förlorat hoppet om att någon vuxen någonsin kommer att kunna hjälpa dem.I Vilse i skolan beskriver Ross W. Greene hur man med empati och ett kognitivt, humanistiskt förhållningssätt kan hjälpa beteendemässigt utmanande barn och ungdomar att hantera sitt beteende. Utifrån bokens fiktiva ramberättelse och många konkreta exempel förklarar Greene hur man kan arbeta med den modell som presenteras i boken: Samarbets­baserade och proaktiva lösningar (CPS). Grundtanken bakom modellen är att beteendemässigt utmanande barn ännu inte utvecklat vissa viktiga tankefärdigheter. Genom att de vuxna i barnets omgivning identifierar och förstår vilka färdigheter som saknas och vilka problem detta leder till, kan de hitta lösningar tillsammans med barnet.Den nya upplagan återspeglar alla revideringar och förbättringar av CPS-modellen som skett sedan år 2009.Boken vänder sig till studenter på lärarutbildningen, men också till alla som arbetar i skolans värld.Tredje upplagan

From a New York Times bestselling authority on education and children’s mental health comes a groundbreaking guide to navigating classroom challenges through an approach that is aimed at meeting kids where they’re at and being responsive to the developmental variability inherent in every classroom.Over the past two decades, a wide array of societal changes have made it much harder to be a kid. While lots of kids are still doing okay, many more than ever are not. The Kids Who Aren’t Okay opens with sobering statistics on children’s mental health: higher than ever rates of concerning behaviors at school, anxiety, depression, chronic absenteeism, and suicidality. And educators—who have never felt less safe at school, have experienced significant decreases in job satisfaction, and have left the profession in droves—aren’t doing very well, either. Child psychologist Dr. Ross Greene, renowned for his pioneering work in education and originator of the evidence-based Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model (which has transformed practices in countless families, schools, psychiatric units, and residential and juvenile detention settings), has worked in and with schools across the globe for decades. He argues that the moment demands that we renew our focus on developmental variability and meeting every student where they’re at, and that we take a hard look at our structures, practices, and mentalities at school and make practical, actionable, realistic changes that benefit all kids and educators. These changes must include shifting to interventions that are proactive (early) rather than reactive (late), solutions that are collaborative rather than unilateral, and focused on the problems that are causing concerning behaviors (and solving them) rather than behaviors (and modifying them). Building on the principles introduced in his landmark, bestselling book, Lost at School, Greene equips educators and caregivers with the tools to foster safer, more supportive, inclusive learning environments. In easy-to-understand, practical terms, Greene provides a clear road map for turning things around, complete with vignettes, case studies, and the voices of educators who’ve done it. The Kids Who Aren’t Okay is a vital resource, providing hope and guidance as schools navigate the new normal.

I Att växa tillsammans beskriver den välkände barnpsykologen Ross W. Greene hur man som förälder skapar en god och hållbar relation till sina barn och samtidigt understödjer positiva mänskliga egenskaper som empati, ärlighet, resiliens och självständighet. I boken ger Greene detaljerad och praktisk vägledning till ett föräldraskap som främjar relationer, förbättrar kommunikationen och hjälper barn att lära sig hantera oenigheter utan konflikt. Med hjälp av Greenes samarbetsbaserade problemlösningsmodell kan föräldrar göra sig kvitt time-out och klistermärken, sluta tjata, förminska, hota och bestraffa, och i stället låta barnen känna sig bekräftade och lyssnade på. Att växa tillsammans ger föräldrar verktyg för att fostra barn utan bestraffningar och fiendskap och för att locka fram det bästa i både sig själva och sina barn. I den här boken vänder sig författaren inte främst till lärare utan fokuserar nu på föräldrar. Icke desto mindre kan boken med fördel även läsas av alla som i sin yrkesverksamhet kommer i kontakt med barn och unga.

From the renowned authority on education and parenting, “an in-depth approach to aid parents and teachers to work together with behaviorally challenging students” (Publishers Weekly)—now revised and updated.School discipline is broken. Too often, the kids who need our help the most are viewed as disrespectful, out of control, and beyond help, and are often the recipients of our most ineffective, most punitive interventions like detention, suspension, and expulsion. These students—and their parents, teachers, and administrators—are frustrated and desperate for answers. Dr. Ross W. Greene, author of the acclaimed book The Explosive Child, offers educators and parents a different framework for understanding challenging behavior in neurodiverse children. Dr. Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) approach helps adults focus on the true factors contributing to challenging classroom behaviors, empowering educators to address these factors and create helping relationships with their most at-risk kids through collaborative problem solving and proactive solutions. This revised and updated edition of Lost at School contains the latest refinements to Dr. Greene’s CPS model, including enhanced methods for solving problems collaboratively, improving communication, and building relationships with kids to reduce school behavior problems. Dr. Greene’s lively, compelling narrative includes: • Tools to identify the problems and lagging skills causing challenging behavior and support emotional regulation• Explicit guidance on how to radically improve interactions with challenging kids and reduce challenging episodes—along with many examples showing how it’s done using de-escalation strategies• Practical guidance for successful planning and collaboration among educators, parents, and kids including IEP and behavior intervention planning Backed by years of experience and research and written with a powerful sense of hope and achievable change, Lost at School gives teachers and parents the realistic strategies and information to impact the classroom experience of every challenging kid (and their classmates) without relying on punishment-based discipline.

Renowned child psychologist and New York Times bestselling author of Lost at School and The Explosive Child explains how to cultivate a better parent-child relationship while also nurturing empathy, honesty, resilience, and independence.Parents have an important task: figure out who their child is—his or her skills, preferences, beliefs, values, personality traits, goals, and direction—get comfortable with it, and then help them pursue and live a life according to it. Yet parents also want their kids to be independent, but not if they are going to make bad choices. They want to avoid being too overbearing, but not if an apathetic kid is what they have to show for it. They want to have a good relationship with their kids, but not if that means being a pushover. They don’t want to scream, but they do want to be heard. Good parenting is about striking the balance between a child’s characteristics and a parent’s desire to have influence. Dr. Ross Greene “makes a powerful case for rethinking typical approaches to parenting and disciplining children” (The Atlantic). Through his well-known model of solving problems collaboratively, parents can forgo timeout and sticker charts; stop badgering, berating, threatening, and punishing; allow their kids to feel heard and validated; and have influence. From homework to hygiene, curfews, to screen time, Dr. Greene “arms parents with guidelines that are clear, doable, and sure to empower both parents and their children” (Adele Faber, coauthor of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen). Raising Human Beings is “inspirational…a game-changer for parents, teachers, and other caregivers. Its advice is reasonable and empathetic, and readers will feel ready to start creating a better relationship with the children in their lives” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

What's an explosive child? A child who responds to routine problems with extreme frustration - crying, screaming, swearing, kicking, hitting, biting, spitting, destroying property, and worse. A child whose frequent, severe outbursts leave his or her parents feeling frustrated, scared, worried, and desperate for help. Most of these parents have tried everything - reasoning, explaining, punishing, sticker charts, therapy, medication - but to no avail. They can't figure out why their child acts the way he or she does; they wonder why the strategies that work for other kids don't work for theirs; and they don't know what to do instead. Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social, emotional, and behavioural challenges, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids aren't attention-seeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren't passive, permissive pushovers. Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach to parenting.Throughout this compassionate, insightful, and practical book, Dr. Greene provides a new conceptual framework for understanding their difficulties, based on research in the neurosciences. He explains why traditional parenting and treatment often don't work with these children, and he describes what to do instead. Instead of relying on rewarding and punishing, Dr. Greene's Collaborative Problem Solving model promotes working with explosive children to solve the problems that precipitate explosive episodes, and teaching these kids the skills they lack.

The first comprehensive presentation for clinicians of the groundbreaking approach popularized in Ross Greene's acclaimed parenting guide, The Explosive Child, this book provides a detailed framework for effective, individualized intervention with highly oppositional children and their families. Many vivid examples and Q&A sections show how to identify the specific cognitive factors that contribute to explosive and noncompliant behavior, remediate these factors, and teach children and their adult caregivers how to solve problems collaboratively. The book also describes challenges that may arise in implementing the model and provides clear and practical solutions. Two special chapters focus on intervention in schools and in therapeutic/restrictive facilities.
