Product Description
Did you know that anger is like fire? It starts with a spark, igniting us with energy and purpose. But it can also blaze out of control, causing lots of problems. If you're a kid whose temper quickly flares, a kid whose anger gets too big, too hot, too fast, this book is for you. What to Do When Your Temper Flares guides children and their parents through the cognitive-behavioral techniques used to treat problems with anger. Engaging examples, lively illustrations, and step-by-step instructions teach children 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.

 through my child's eyes December 28, 2007

This is an excellent book to help discuss anger from a kid's perspective, when my logic of "just get over it" obviously doesn't work!
As expected, it took some time to win my 7 year old over - he was angry about having to confront the problem - but he really got into it after a while.
It's not a quick fix - the child still has to do the work and practice the techniques - but it is a great guide to help parents and children deal with anger management at a young age. Especially important is that it puts the responsibility for the emotion on the child's shoulders where it really belongs. The author lets children know she understands what they are thinking but that it is not an excuse for letting anger brew.

Of all of Dawn Huebner's books, I like this one the best! As a therapist this book provides a multi-sensory approach with lots of options and choices that the kids can make in learning to control their anger. I had one child this week really get into the relaxation techniques, and I love the "vacuum cleaner" concept of not getting "sucked in" to anger.
Children learn practical strategies January 3, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
As a retired elementary school teacher, I wish I had had What to Do When Your Temper Flares during my teaching years. What an incredible resource for children and their parents, as well as teachers and anyone else who works with kids. This book gives children the tools they need to deal with anger in a step-by-step way while keeping them engaged in the process of learning. Full of great information and useful strategies, this book is easy for younger children to understand, while remaining interesting to older children and respectful of all. I plan to keep it available for my grandchildren - it's a keeper!

Hi. My son is 9 and has difficulty with anger which has been a continuous but generally not overwhelming problem. After an episode where he broke his brother's favorite video game we had a chat and then I showed him the book. We went over each chapter after he read it but he said it didn't really help. He said it was boring and he didn't see how any of the suggestions given could help him. I thought it looked pretty good and I will pass it along to our school psychologist. Perhaps in a more formal setting it would be more effective.
