How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk 
by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish
A classic and exceptional book. Get your kids' cooperation...without arguing.

You'll learn to: Avoid turning simple conversations into arguments, instruct rather than criticize when correcting your child, choose effective alternatives to punishment and show your child how to make amends while allowing him to experience the direct consequences of his actions.

Lost in School and The Explosive Child 
by Ross Green.
Both are excellent books for communicating to school professionals about the underlying EF difficulties children with behavioral challenges experience and why they act the way they do. A must read for teachers and parents alike. If you have an explosive child at home this is a must read resource, but I do not recommend you skim the book. Read it cover to cover to really understand collaborative problem solving to work with children who struggle with flexibility.
