I haven't read the book yet but what does your school say? Does your school have any on-site social workers or counselors? Lots of schools do and their input is invaluable. Hatzlacha!

appears to be a good book - why not try it
Code: | Another must-read for parents, educators and children..Tag along as Pinny introduces the reader to another friend from school. In previous books, we've met classmates with ADHD, anxiety, and bullying issues. In My Friend the Volcano, we encounter Reuven, an explosive child who deals with disappointment by erupting in anger and tantrums. His frequent meltdowns end up driving away all his friends, leaving Reuven isolated and sad. Reuven isn't a bad person; he's a boy with a problem that is too strong for him to handle alone. With support from parents, teachers, specialists and friends, Reuven discovers coping and cooling-down techniques that help him take control of his anger.
My Friend the Volcano is the third in a series of acclaimed books by Rifka Schonfeld for children going through difficult times. A great resource for anyone dealing with children who suffer from Oppositional Defiant Disorder or anger management issues.
Includes tips on understanding and helping the child with Oppositional Defiant Disorder. |

Greenfire, I suspect it's an excellent book. But probably for many people as a starting point, with some extra IRL support.

Agreed. It's very validating and explains things well, but what works for the boy in the book a) works because of combined home and school support, and b) might not work for everyone.
But I think it's worth it for the explanations, for the idea that there's hope, and for the idea that kids like this aren't bad, and while they might occasionally be scary, they're human. It's also good for an explosive kid to see in a story how they might scare others.
