Product Description
From a distinguished clinician, lead the way in effective with behaviorally challenging kids, and leader of the acclaimed The Explosive Child comes a groundbreaking approach for understanding and helping these kids and transforming school discipline.
Frequent visits to the principal’s office. Detentions. Suspensions. Expulsions. These are the customary tools of school discipline for kids who don’t abide by school rules, have a hard time getting along with additional kids, don’t seem to respect power, don’t seem interested in learning, and are disrupting the learning of their classmates. But there’s a huge problem with these strategies: They are ineffective for most of the students to whom they are applied.
It’s time for a change in course.
Here, Dr. Ross W. Greene presents an enlightened, clear-cut, and practical alternative. Relying on research from the neurosciences, Dr. Greene offers a new conceptual framework for understanding the difficulties of kids with behavioral challenges and clarifies why traditional discipline isn’t effective at addressing these difficulties. Emphasizing the revolutionarily simple and positive notion that kids do well if they can, he persuasively argues that kids with behavioral challenges are not attention-seeking, manipulative, limit-hard, coercive, or unmotivated, but that they lack the skills to behave adaptively. And when adults admit the right factors underlying hard behavior and teach kids the skills in increments they can handle, the results are astounding: The kids overcome their obstacles; the frustration of teachers, parents, and classmates diminishes; and the well-being and learning of all students are enhanced.
In Lost at School, Dr. Greene describes how his road-tested, evidence-based approach — called Collaborative Problem Solving — can help challenging kids at school.
His lively, compelling narrative includes:
• tools to identify the triggers and lagging skills underlying challenging behavior.• explicit guidance on how to radically improve interactions with challenging kids — along with many examples showing how it’s done.
• dialogues, Q & A’s, and the tale, which runs through the book, of one child and his teachers, parents, and school.
• practical guidance for successful preparation and collaboration among teachers, parents, administrations, and kids.
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.

About 150 out of 183 pages of case study with meager analysis jammed into the anecdotal tales. / checklists at the end if you last long enough to read them.
If you were expecting anything like an essay or analysis on a macro level or the progression of collective realization of the phenomenon the book is titled after…… read something else.
My understanding is Dr. Greene is revered in the theme matter and described as a pre-eminent power, and this is the first of his books I’ve read, I hope the additional books offer more analytical content.

While it seems that there are more and more programs for children, it seems that just as many children seem to fall through the cracks. This book is a must read for anyone who has children struggling with behavior or progress in school. It provides a very excellent roadmap for parents to take an active role.

I read this book in a weekend and applied it to my work (as a school psychologist) at school on Monday. I reflect every educator would benefit from this book.

The Explosive Child was a wonderful book. I establish the suggestions offered were here were also very insightful for the parent, child or parent figure. But, the schools will not change and are zero tolerance. Makes the loss of understanding even more real and you seem to be left with teaching the child natural consequences. Further, in Houston Independant School District anyway, if the parent tries to use the Fed 504 designation for any emotional disablity, the AP classes are no longer available for the child. Of course, if the child is bored in the reg classes even more opportunity for the child to get into distress.

Lost at School is a excellent review/introduction to CPS. Green gives plenty of excellent examples of the process. The book works best in the narrative sections that review CPS. It is less effective/well-written in the additional sections. As in, Explosive Child, Green could use a better editor. In parts it is written in the over-wrought language of academics and that is where it drags. Nonetheless, I would still recommend this to anyone who is effective/living with a child with “behavior issues” who is school-aged.
