What to Do When Your Temper Flares: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Problems With Anger

by Dawn Huebner PhD, Irma Ruggiero (Illustrator)

Overview

If you're a kid whose anger gets too big, too hot, too fast, this book is for you.

An updated edition of the interactive self-help book, What to Do When Your Temper Flares, Second Edition, pairs everything that worked so well in the original—the conversational tone, interactive elements, clear and actionable strategies—with new tools, new illustrations, and up-to-date expert advise. Lively metaphors make concepts easy to understand while clear, how-to steps and prompts to draw and write arm children with a set of anger dousing methods aimed at cooling angry thoughts and controlling angry actions, resulting in calmer, more effective kids. This interactive self-help book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering children to work toward change.
