|
Anger is a part of life. We can't avoid it, we shouldn't stuff it, and we can't make it go away. Kids need help learning how to manage their anger. This book speaks directly to kids and offers strategies they can start using immediately. Blending tips and ideas with jokes and funny cartoons, it guides kids to understand that anger is normal and can be expressed in many wayssome healthy, some not. It teaches them how to recognize anger in themselves and others, how to deal with situations and emotions (loneliness, guilt, frustration, fear) that lead to or mask anger, and how to deal with the anger they feel. Young readers learn that violence is not acceptable and there are better, safer ways to resolve conflicts. They also discover what to do when people around them are angry, how to get help, and how to locate other resources (books, hotlines, school groups) when they need more support.

This is a very cute book, but to find the time and place to sit down with an angry kid hasn't come about just yet, it's one of those that I'll have to read and then take the ideas to the kids.
Definitely a book I'd suggest though . . . I just haven't gotten a chance to use it the way I'd like yet! (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-11-30 04:06:29 EST)

Wonderful explanations of what anger is, how to recognize the feelings, how to express the feeling in a healthier way and how to problem solve. My daughter loved the examples of dialogue as they were accurate samples of what she deals with on a daily basis with her peers at school. I appreciated the fact that we could pick it up and read any chapter without reading the entire book. My daughter has also benefited by reading a book called Angry Octopus: A Relaxation Story. She feels empowered by both of these books and is now implementing taking a deep breath to calm her anger just as the octopus does in Angry Octopus. It is a winning combination.

I have been using this book to help my two sons, ages 8 & 11, understand and control thier tempers. I have read several of these types of books to them and I feel that this one has been the most effective. The book is written with an appealing age appropriate sense of humor and the illustrations are fun for them to look at. This book contains all of the important themes about anger but is presented in a way that appeals to kids. I highly recommend this book to parents of kindergarten through seventh grade kids that have anger issues. Thanks for a great book!

This book gives good suggestions. I really like the high lights it gives on summary pages which can be used for teaching tools.

Good for working with individual children (as a parent or therapist) but not so great for groups of young children. The ideas and concepts can be used to design other activities for groups, but a group of angry young students will not sit still to read this through with them.

This is a great book to help children identify the physical signs of anger and to sort out the emotion they are feeling. It also teaches strategies to "tame your temper". I made a "cheat sheet" for my son to use when he gets angry with anger strategies. My 7 year son with autism uses strategies suggested in this book.

I bought this book for my six year old grandson who used the "grrr" sound when becoming angry. Both he and his eight year old brother love the book. There are some helpful insights in the book to help them learn to control their anger. I recommend the book to any parent or grandparent who needs written material to help a child address the problem of anger.

This book was bought for my 10 year old girl who was developing some anger issues. Even though we have talked about it, she was in denial. One day, she became very angry and it escalated. For her one of her punishments, I required her to read 3 chapters (since the chapters are short) everyday and then we would discuss it. She was very reluctant. However, after reading the first couple of chapters, she came to me and told me she learned alot. She even talked about, which she would never do before. This was a very very helpful book.

I am reading this book to my 10 year old son and it is very interesting to him. He likes the pictures too. It has everything about anger, from all aspects and is written at his level too. I would highly recommend it.

My 9 and 12 year old sons love this book! We have been able to talk about those angery moments in a fun and useful way. The funny pictures just add to the easy-going approch to a serious topic.
