48 The Explosive Childgers are the situations or events over which the child is
actually exploding. Help the child develop the thinking
skills and solve the problems and there won’t be any
more explosions.
Once you know what your child’s pathways and triggers
are, his explosions become highly predictable. Lots of
folks believe that a child’s explosions are unpredictable
and occur “out of the blue,” but that theory is seldom
substantiated. For reasons that will become much clearer
in Chapter 6, predictable explosions are a lot easier to
deal with than unpredictable ones.
