Book Description

June 1, 2005
Anger is the most difficult issue for parents. Why is your child so angry? Why do you get so angry with a child you love so much? And when do the anger and the arguments become harmful to your child’s development?

The Anger Habit in Parenting helps parents understand that when dealing with their children, anger can become a habit. Responding with anger is a powerful response that gets results. For many parents and children, this tool is so effective that they start using it subconsciously, or in situations where anger is unwarranted and/or unnecessary.

Dr. Semmelroth shows parents how to identify and get over the anger habit, while building stronger relationships with their children.

Through expert advice, along with exercises and stories of real families, this book shows you how to avoid:

• Temper tantrums
• Feelings of losing control
• Explosive arguments
• Family battles

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, March 16, 2006
This review is from: The Anger Habit in Parenting: A New Approach to Understanding and Resolving Family Conflict (Paperback)
If think that the "bribe and threaten" method of discipline (euphemistically known as 'giving consequences')might be doing harm to your relationship to your child and their development, you are right! Read this book, and learn a saner way that works. You will feel enormous relief as will your kids, and be much more effective than you ever thought possible. The book really is more about parenting than family conflict despite what the title indicates. Great in conjunction with The Anger Habit with Relationships, and stylistically an improvement over the original Anger Habit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maybe a better title would have been, "How to know you are angry when you're parenting.", October 27, 2011

Cassandra Seer (Orange County, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Anger Habit in Parenting: A New Approach to Understanding and Resolving Family Conflict (Paperback)
The jewel that is this book is that it raises our awareness of how we may feel and act when we're angry, and shows us how we may use these feelings properly in our parenting. If you want to know how to tell when you're parenting from a place of anger (rationalized, justified, or otherwise) instead of a place of love, this may be the right book for you.
