More About the Author
Jerry Wilde is a professor of educational psychology for Indiana University East. Prior to this academic appointment, he spent years working with students who had emotional, behavioral, and learning difficulties. It was through his experiences with children and families that he learned the skills and techniques included in his books. His experiences with his own health problems have reinforce his beliefs about the nature of emotions. After experiencing kidney failure and being on dialysis, he was fortunate enough to receive a kidney transplant. However, he recenlty developed cancer in his transplanted kidney and will soon be back on dialysis. Through it all, Jerry remains optimistic and stubbornly refuses to let these difficulties change his outlook on life. Other than psychology, the great loves of his life are his family, the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Minnesota Twins, and Diet Mt. Dew. He can be contacted at jwilde@indiana.edu

Hot Stuff to Help Kids Chill Out The Anger Management Book,
By Tawni Plath (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot Stuff to Help Kids Chill Out: The Anger Management Book (Paperback)
This book is an exceptional work book for adolescents. My 12 year old son was able to use this book on his own as a learning tool. Next, we read the book together and discussed his answers. This book is great for parents and children, but could also be used by teachers, counselors, Psychiatrics, or Psychologists to help view underling anger factors.

How this book helped my eight year old.,
By June Hall (Abilene, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot Stuff to Help Kids Chill Out: The Anger Management Book (Paperback)
My eight year old son has a pretty hot temper and was getting in trouble at school because of it. He was also having trouble making and keeping friends. Does this sound familiar? Read on. We liked this book because he could read it himself. It also has questions as you go through to help reinforce the different concepts and apply them to your own situation. It is amusing, I colud hear my son laughing as he was reading it and he would say "Mom come and look at this, It's really funny". The book gives clear guidelines regarding how to 'Chill Out' which my son is beginning to use with VERY good effect. I would recommend this book to anyone with an angry child.

Hot Stuff to Help Kids Chill Out, The Anger Management Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hot Stuff to Help Kids Chill Out: The Anger Management Book (Paperback)
I think this book is already helping my 11-year old son. Although I could not get him to read the book himself, he was willing to listen and interact as I read it to him. Because it is very focused and relatively short, this approach worked for us. The real breakthrough came in doing one of the distraction exercises recommended. -- My son was truly amazed as a smile played over his face and he said, "It works, I can't stay mad." He still has a long way to go, but he has some new tools now to try to change his life.
