Purchase options and add-ons
An updated edition of the classic interactive self-help book What to Do When Your Temper Flares pairs everything that worked so well in the original―the conversational tone, interactive elements, clear and actionable strategies―with new mindfulness tools, reordered step-by-step instructions, and updated advice for modern issues.
This book arms kids with a set of "anger dousing" methods aimed at cooling angry thoughts and controlling angry actions, resulting in calmer, more balanced kids. Includes a note to parents and caregivers with additional information on cognitive-behavioral techniques used to treat problems with anger.
This updated edition is part of the What-to-Do Guides for Kids series, self-help books designed to guide kids through the cognitive-behavioral techniques most often used in the treatment of various psychological concerns. Engaging, encouraging, and easy to follow, these books educate, motivate, and empower children to work towards change.

About the author

Dawn Huebner, PhD, is a psychologist, parent coach, and the author of 18 books (and growing) including the bestselling What to Do When You Worry Too Much and Outsmarting Worry.
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 – the What to Do Guides for Kids - teaching complex psychological concepts using metaphors, language, and humor easily understood by children. Her newer books maintain her distinctive voice while adding a layer of detail and sophistication appreciated by older children.
All of Dr. Huebner’s books echo her philosophy - that children can and should be taught to help themselves, and that they are capable of overcoming even stuck-seeming challenges. Dr. Huebner’s books sell briskly around the world, and have been translated into 23 languages. She has been featured on the TODAY Show, CNN, WebMD and many other news and information outlets, and is frequently interviewed by popular parenting magazines. Dr. Huebner’s TEDx talk on Rethinking Anxiety has been viewed over a million times.
Dr. Huebner enjoys hearing from readers. She is always at work on her next book...
