Anger Management Workbook for Kids: 50 Fun Activities to Help Children Stay Calm and Make Better Choices When They Feel Mad

I have three children and one of them has anger issues. I asked all of my kids to do this book together so he didn’t get singled out. Everyone has enjoyed using it and they all bond together while using it. But the best part is how it helps my son think about the details of his anger and behavior and the effect it has on others. When he starts getting angry, I can reference the book and help him understand what’s happening and how to stop it. I love this book. It has been great for my family.

This is a fantastic tool for parents to explain anger and other emotions to their children and children to understand what is going on.Brilliant, straight to the point and fun with many activities in every chapter. Wish I had found it earlier.Also great tool for Occupational Therapists

The anger was so cute. A review from my son.

This is the best workbook I have seen yet on anger for children. Very thorough, descriptive, useable worksheets to break it all down. Highly recommend.

Takes a lot to get an angry-prone 8 year old (violence, insults, yelling when triggered that is) to sit down and do this, but the CBT-based exercises have really worked wonders. The key is committing some one on one time with my son for a couple hours, as daily as possible, to help him through the exercises. Although he opposes doing the workbook every time, by the end of it he's giving me lots of hugs and kisses and telling me in different ways he knows it's good for him. My partner does it with him too and I'd have to say it's helping the whole family generally express ourselves better! Just fyi- I am a domestic violence survivor and he was exposed to all that trauma from utero to 2.5 years of age. We've been through therapy and I've helped him at home by immersing myself in techniques, PCIT, theraplay, etc but now that he's getting older a more logical book like this has been a wonderful edition and I see light at the end of the tunnel. I consider myself an authoritative parent and I have a child two years younger who was not so exposed to DV and as a gage my "normal" parenting works much easier on a kid with considerably less PTSD, so the workbook has, in a way, helped my eight year old validate his feelings both old and new in a way that he hasn't been able to before.

It’s not something I expected

This book is wonderful.I am in desperate need of help to manage angry outbursts of my 9 yo, but didn’t want to go as far as external help. I know what the issues are ( Covid, new school, 11 plus) but I didn’t know how to fix it- it’s incredible how little control we have over our children’s’ lives...This book offers good old fashioned CBT, but written in the language the 9yo can understand. We do the exercises together and it really gives me an insight into my son’s thinking eg- what stresses him out the most about the school is all the new rules and he gets really bad headache when he’s angry ( which is probably making each episode even worse). I realised it might be a generalisation, but I think a lot of boys this age are not able to recognise their feelings and this book creates an ideal platform for exploring them. This morning my son woke me up, book in hand asking: “ Can we do a bit more of the anger book?”You will need to put some time aside for it though, when you are not rushed and they are not tired. But I highly recommend it if you are struggling, which I know a lot of parents are at the moment.

Received in good condition. Full colourful pages.
