A groundbreaking approach to understanding and parenting children who frequently exhibit severe fits of temper and other intractable behaviours, from a distinguished clinician and pioneer in this field, now updated to include the most recent releases.

Implement a more constructive approach to difficult students Lost and Found is a follow-up to Dr. Ross Greene'slandmark works, The Explosive Child and Lost at School, providing educators with highly practical, explicitguidance on implementing his Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) Problem Solving model with behaviorally-challenging students. While the first two books described Dr. Greene's positive, constructive approach and described implementation on a macro level, this useful guide provides the details of hands-on CPS implementation by those who interact with these children every day.

Challenging students lack the skill--not the will--to behave. The authors' evidence-based approach allows teachers to dramatically reduce challenging classroom behaviors while helping even the most disruptive students gain the skills they need to succeed inside and outside the classroom. Step-by-step guidance and exercises are provided to help K- 12 educators implement the CPS model in both general and special-education settings.
