 Some Good Information On Anger Management June 4, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Helping children deal with their anger is an important issue these days. There is some good information on how to teach kids to 'chill out'... though a bit brief. The most comprehensive book that teaches children how to manage stress, frustration, anger and deal with conflict isBully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying.

I am an intensive in-home therapist who works with chldren and adolescents ages 5 - 17. A lot of my clients have anger issues and I have been using this book with those age 13 and younger. We read a page together and then talk about any of the questions that are asked and take any surveys, etc. during our sessions. This book is a great way to introduce children to the concept of CBT without using the technical CBT language. It teaches them about automatic thoughts without calling it that and is working well with "my" kids.
I would recommend it to anyone who has a client load which includes 8 - 13 year olds dealing with anger issues.

Although Amazon.com lists this 58 page book as for young adults, young children have appreciated having this book read to them. The title is a good example of the style used by this a child psychologist as he speaks to children and teens. With children and teens or young adults, I suggest reading and discussing it together. There are some pointers for older adults as well.

What a wonderful book. I read the reviews here before purchasing and my only reservation was with the "sarcastic" humor in the book. Actually, it is the humor that makes this book work. It was the bait that got my son hooked on the book.
I bought this for my 8 year-old son. He started to read it immediately. The book is a book and a workbook where you do some introspection. When he saw there were places to write down his responses, he ran and got a pencil. The first day he (we) spent nearly an hour reading and answering questions before we told him he needed to put it down and go to bed.
The book does a good job of validating the feelings that a child (actually all of us) has and gives great ways to deal with those responses. If you have ever encouraged your child to say "gooz fah bah" (from Anger Management the movie), then this is the book for you.
