Teaches children how to deal with anger in positive ways, November 29, 2001
This review is from: I Am So Angry, I Could Scream: Helping Children Deal with Anger (Let's Talk) (Paperback)
We all know that children get upset and angry at the littlest things. Well actually, what may seem like a trivial matter to adults, could make a child terribly angry. How can we teach our children to deal with and channel their anger?
In the book, "I Am So Angry, I Could Scream," a little girl named Penny gets very angry in response to different situations throughout the story. She doesn't know quite how to handle her anger, until her aunt Rose shows her how to use an Anger Chart to help her deal with her anger in positive ways.
My ParenTime recommends the book, "I Am So Angry, I Could SCREAM" by Laura Fox, M.A. -- the illustrations are colorful and descriptive, and the situations that Penny deals with throughout the book are real. I personally wouldn't read the book as a bedtime story though...I feel it's a bit too long for that. Besides the fact that it would be most effective when children are not sleepy. But I must say, that the book does do a wonderful job of teaching children about an important emotion - I've read it to my 6 year old a few times now :-). Also, by using the Anger Chart, you can help your child discover that their anger can be dealt with in a positive way.

Self Esteem Scores Another Point, November 13, 2000
This review is from: I Am So Angry, I Could Scream: Helping Children Deal with Anger (Let's Talk) (Paperback)
I was surprised to see what results the little girl's aunt had for her. I figured letting her scream and get it out of her system was better than keeping it inside her. Making the list and actually telling the other children how they made her feel was a "sound" solution. What it all comes down to is SELF ESTEEM. How you feel about YOURSELF. Adults can benefit from this book, too. So many seminars today are based on self esteem. I thought the illustration were colorful and alive. Laura is very proud of her book and I look forward to passing it along to my children and grandchildren.

anger management, October 20, 2008
This review is from: I Am So Angry, I Could Scream: Helping Children Deal with Anger (Let's Talk) (Paperback)
I was hoping that this book would be easy to read for younger readers. Although the book was well-written, I did not find it helpful for the population I work with. Most of my clients are under 10 years old and I found that the book was too "wordy" so they lost interest easily.
