5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent tool for dealing with anxiety in children!, August 17, 2007

By	J. Pellegrino "Jezka" (CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a behavioral therapist treating children with Autism and so far this book has proved to be a vital tool for dealing with anxiety-related behaviors. The number/rating scale helps children gauge their own level of anxiety without having to come up with the right words to say and then gives them the tools to calm themselves down instead of hitting, biting, etc. Highly recommended!!

5.0 out of 5 stars What an excellent tool!, September 30, 2007

By	Minerva V. Bailey "Special Kids Law Center" (Pembroke Pines, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is an excellent tool for children having diffiulties controlling their emotions. The visual thermometer and the "social story" makes it very helpful to assist these children to learn how to respond to their feelings/emotions more appropriately. My four year old likes to look at his thermometer and read the story every time he has reached a "5". It's been very helpful for him.

I have bought and given several copies of this book. It helps give a language to feelings that might otherwise be hard to describe.
