Anger Management October 1, 2008
This is a valuable tool for parents to help children deal with their anger. Children need to be empowered to deal with all their feelings and control their behavior. The most practical and informational book on raising children in control of their feelings and behavior is Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying...a book that is as much about child-rearing as bullying.
 A real help when working with children July 26, 2008

I am a developmental and behavioral pediatrician, who has worked with children for many years on issues of emotional control. I have training in hypnosis to help children learn to envision their emotions, the behaviors of their emotions, and how to become the boss of their emotions. I have found this book to be an excellent adjunct to helping them with the idea of visualization of how anger and axiety affect them.
I really feel that people working with children exhibiting anger, should review this book to understand how anxiety might look depending on the child. Research has shown that many angry children (and adults) reach that behavior from anxiety that keeps building up until they need to address it some way.

A great book for parents and kids on anger management; filled with strategies and activities. Put this on your bookshelf. Another outstanding resource for parents and educators is Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying. It not only helps kids to deal with feelings of anger but expression of all feelings; it provides activities and detailed classroom-tested lessons on how to manage these feelings, assertiveness vs aggressiveness; conflict resolution; getting along; being kind and helping others.
 Written for teachers/counselors more than parents April 22, 2008

The premise of the book is that anger is okay and natural, and you do not need to feel ashamed or scared when you are angry. You can talk about your anger, and try to physically calm your body, but you cannot be abusive and hurt yourself, others, or property.
If you are a parent hoping to help a child with anger issues, this is probably not the best book for you. It is basically a series of lesson plans designed for teachers/counselors to use when teaching students about anger and constructive ways to manage their anger.
OTOH, I do plan to adapt a few of the lessons for my family. There are a few useful stories and worksheets that could reinforce some of the messages I am trying to get through to my children, such as: using "cold water" words to diffuse someone else's anger; figuring out "what lit the fuse" for an outburst of anger; slowly escalating your words "using your muscles" to explain when someone is bothering you, rather than exploding all at once; and coming up with "safe ways" to express anger, among others.
Great for young kids with anger problems May 25, 2007

Excellent short workbook for kids with anger problems. Probably most appropriate for kids between 5 and 9. Highly reccomended.
