"Suggestions are realistic and practical . . . ." -- Paulette Bochnig, Small Press, Winter 1995

From the Back Cover

Sometimes children's anger overwhelms them. Often kids have a hard time thinking of alternatives to aggressive behavior when they feel angry. But telling children "use words" or sending them to their rooms rarely provides long-term solutions to handling strong emotions. In this book, Elizabeth Crary provides options children can use to diffuse their anger without denying it or feeling shame about it.

This review is from: I'm Furious (Crary, Elizabeth, Dealing With Feelings.) (Paperback)

Matt is furious when his little brother ruins his best baseball card. The reader gets to pick which of several ideas he should try to deal with his feelings: he could sock his brother, or he could kick a ball, or call a friend to talk. Flip to the page indicated to find out what happens if he uses this technique, then try other ideas. All paths eventually lead to the same final resolution: a talk between the brothers and a truce. This book is an excellent way for children to see that their emotions are valid, but that they can be in control of the results of those emotions.
