When Explosions Signal Missing Skills, Not Bad Behavior
Imagine your child melting down over something seemingly trivial-a broken cookie, a change in plans, or homework frustration. Your instinct might be to punish, plead, or give in. But what if these explosions aren't willful defiance but signals that your child lacks crucial skills? This revolutionary perspective forms the foundation of Dr. Ross Greene's approach. Traditional parenting assumes children misbehave because they want something or haven't been disciplined effectively. Greene flips this completely: "Kids do well if they can." When children aren't doing well, it's not because they lack motivation-it's because they lack skills. Seven-year-old Philip didn't dump eggs in the sink to be defiant; he lacked the flexibility to handle unexpected changes, the emotional regulation to manage disappointment, and the communication skills to express his needs appropriately. This paradigm shift transforms how we respond to challenging behaviors. Instead of asking "How can I make my child behave?" we ask "What's getting in my child's way?" Behind every tantrum or explosive episode lies a set of underdeveloped cognitive skills-not character flaws or deliberate choices. Many explosive children struggle with cognitive flexibility-the ability to adapt when things don't go as expected. For six-year-old Courtney, a rained-out park visit wasn't just disappointing; it was catastrophic because her rigid thinking made shifting gears impossible. Another common challenge is difficulty managing emotions. While all children experience strong feelings, most develop the ability to set emotions aside temporarily to think clearly. Problem-solving difficulties compound these challenges-when faced with obstacles, these children either act impulsively or freeze. Communication difficulties make everything worse. Children lacking language skills may resort to physical responses like hitting because they literally don't know what else to say.
