If you like Dr. Wilde's book "Hot Stuff to Help Kids Chill Out," you'll love this book. I actually think this one might even be better than the first one because it contains information about stress management for children and adolescents. This book contains many helpful activities that demonstrate to kids that they have the ability to change their thoughts and change their feelings. This is an excellent book for parents and therapists alike!

This is a workout book for anger management for children and their parents. There are check-lists to pinpoint areas that make you angry. It has exercises to help calm you down and it gives suggestions on how to use anger as a way to make changes. A great guide for 2nd grade-early teens. The black and white drawings are funny but get the point across. Lots of humor helps make this interesting and not a drudge.

My daughter (age 11) had been having some severe difficulties with anger so I decided to buy this book. Wow! She has made huge progress after we read this book by Jerry Wilde. It's filled with great insights and exercises we completed together. I can't say enough nice things about this book.

Unfortunately I cannot get my 10 year old son to read this excellent book. I have and found it helpful and funny. i am sure he would enjoy it if he read it, but he is just trying to control the situation and refuses point blank. Maybe I will persuade him during the holidays.

Excellent read for Late Elementary and Middle School Kids. Lends itself to being read to. Written in children's language.

This is the second copy of this book I have purchased to use in my practice with children and adults. The other copy is usually loaned out. I use this book with adult clients as well as children to help them understand very clearly the relationship between thoughts and emotions, and useful coping strategies. Parents like it to reinforce the work of therapy, and other adult clients like the simplicity of the book, and how quickly one can read it. It is the Cliff Notes version of other more complicated texts on anger and stress management. A great addition to your clinician toolbox.

very helpful. my 12yr old uses it to deals with his 6yr old sister and has helped him very much. he liked it very much.

Although this book has great material for kids, it is almost word-for-word the same as the first book "Hot Stuff to Help Kids Chill Out." So buy one or the other, not both!

I've used this book with both elementary and middle school students for years and it's a great tool for getting through to kids with anger problems. It has spaces for students to record their own responses and they like being able to do that. I've also noticed that students who normally "wouldn't be caught dead" reading a book seem to enjoy this book. The author uses humor throughout the book in an apparent to win over those kids. It works!

this book is totally innappropriate for elementary children. It seems to only address anger issues, not stress issues. Not every child gets angry when they are stressed. Some are sad, nervous, or scared. A waste of my money. It is a workbook for a middle school or high school student to do on their own.
