Review

"I'm Frustrated by Elizabeth Crary has an innovative approach . . . . This is a story with many endings, which makes for interesting reading, not to mention that it also teaches kids ways to handle their own frustrations." -- All About Kids, April 1992

From the Back Cover

Frustration is especially familiar to young children who perceive grownups and older siblings as being much more capable of performing tasks and activities than they are. Unaddressed, this emotion can be undermining. Parents can't make uncomfortable feelings go away, but they can offer support and empower children to create solutions that work for them. Elizabeth Crary provides guidance and suggestions and helps children find solutions that work.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interactive approach to learning about feelings., May 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: I'm Frustrated (Dealing With Feelings) (Paperback)

A boy encounters a frusterating event (learning to roller skate and falling) and deals with his emotions. What makes this series of books different from other books about feelings is the interactive approach. Most pages end with a series of suggestions - ways to deal with emotion, such as taking deep breaths, talking to someone about the feeling, or taking a break. The reader chooses one of the possible solutions, turns to the page number indicated to see the result, then is offered more choices. My son loved this book and it gave him a lot of ideas for handling tough feelings.
