Did you know that anger is like fire? It starts with a spark, igniting us with energy and purpose. But it can also blaze out of control, causing lots of problems. If you're a kid whose temper quickly flares, a kid whose anger gets too big, too hot, too fast, this book is for you. What to Do When Your Temper Flares guides children and their parents through the cognitive-behavioral techniques used to treat problems with anger. Engaging examples, lively illustrations, and step-by-step instructions teach children a set of "anger dousing" methods aimed at cooling angry thoughts and controlling angry actions, resulting in calmer, more effective kids. This interactive self-help book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering children to work toward change.

More About the Author
Dawn Huebner, PhD, wrote most of her first book (What to Do When You Worry Too Much) on walks to and from her office in downtown Exeter, NH. The rest of her series was similarly conceived, although she eventually set up a computer (and designated a writing day) in a spare room at home.
A clinical psychologist in private practice, Dr. Huebner recognized the need for lively, easy-to-read take-home materials to help children practice the strategies they were learning in her office. She created a format effective for 6-12 year olds, teaching sophisticated concepts using metaphors, language, and humor easily understood by kids.
The What to Do Guides for Kids series echoes Dr. Huebner's philosophy - that children can and should be taught to help themselves overcome challenges. Engaging, interactive, and clinically accurate, Dr. Huebner's books do just that - empowering children to help themselves. Her books sell briskly around the world, having been translated into 12 languages (with more in the works). Dr. Huebner has been featured on the TODAY Show, and is frequently interviewed for articles in popular parenting magazines.
Dr. Huebner maintains a file of requests for future topics she has received from readers, along with stories of lives transformed. She is always at work on her next book...

through my child's eyes,
This review is from: What to Do When Your Temper Flares: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Problems With Anger (What to Do Guides for Kids) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book to help discuss anger from a kid's perspective, when my logic of "just get over it" obviously doesn't work!As expected, it took some time to win my 7 year old over - he was angry about having to confront the problem - but he really got into it after a while. It's not a quick fix - the child still has to do the work and practice the techniques - but it is a great guide to help parents and children deal with anger management at a young age. Especially important is that it puts the responsibility for the emotion on the child's shoulders where it really belongs. The author lets children know she understands what they are thinking but that it is not an excuse for letting anger brew.

This review is from: What to Do When Your Temper Flares: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Problems With Anger (What to Do Guides for Kids) (Paperback)
Of all of Dawn Huebner's books, I like this one the best! As a therapist this book provides a multi-sensory approach with lots of options and choices that the kids can make in learning to control their anger. I had one child this week really get into the relaxation techniques, and I love the "vacuum cleaner" concept of not getting "sucked in" to anger.

Children learn practical strategies,
This review is from: What to Do When Your Temper Flares: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Problems With Anger (What to Do Guides for Kids) (Paperback)
As a retired elementary school teacher, I wish I had had What to Do When Your Temper Flares during my teaching years. What an incredible resource for children and their parents, as well as teachers and anyone else who works with kids. This book gives children the tools they need to deal with anger in a step-by-step way while keeping them engaged in the process of learning. Full of great information and useful strategies, this book is easy for younger children to understand, while remaining interesting to older children and respectful of all. I plan to keep it available for my grandchildren - it's a keeper!
