This review is from: The Heart of Anger: Practical Help for Prevention and Cure of Anger in Children (Paperback)

I have three little boys and I was concerned about some of their behaviors. Fighting, yelling, getting really mad at each other. This book answered so many questions for me it was great. He backs up everything he says with Bible verse and there are examples to help also. A lot of books hint at what could be the root of the problem but this guy lays it out in a way that is easy to understand and I have seen great improvement in my boys just in the first few days. It isn't just a book for children it is for anyone that needs to deal with an anger problem. I have felt a lot better after reading it. It heled me to see what actions I was taking that were upsetting the kids and giving them a bad example. It isn't a book that makes you feel you are a bad person. It just points out things that everybody does to some degree and just taking time to notice which things apply to you is a great help. I think everybody should get at least two of this book because it is the kind of book you want to give to a friend. If everybody read this book the world would be a better place to live in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Physician/parent dealing with anger in family and practice, March 3, 2000

This review is from: The Heart of Anger: Practical Help for Prevention and Cure of Anger in Children (Paperback)

I received the book from a good Christian mentor. I have a child with ADD and another with LD. Both are adopted. The book advises reading it once for yourself if you are dealing with anger and a second reading as you work with your children. Good advice! The child-centered anology explains the state of the nation. The book has given us a template to deal with seemingly overwhelming situations at home. The format is simple and straightforward. The scriptures and application techniques are awesome. The process is being adapted now with good result. I am buying more copies for my friends and patients.

5.0 out of 5 stars Advice I could really follow, July 7, 2001

This review is from: The Heart of Anger: Practical Help for Prevention and Cure of Anger in Children (Paperback)

The subtitle says "Practical" and the advice really is! Not pie-in-the sky psychobabble, but direct, concrete, specific steps toward figuring out what lies behind the anger and knowing how to address it. I especially appreciate how the book doesn't waste time trying to place blame or point fingers. It just helps the parent get to work addressing the attitudes and behaviors that need correction.
