If you're a kid whose anger gets too big, too hot, too fast, this book is for you.
An updated edition of the interactive self-help book, What to Do When Your Temper Flares, Second Edition, pairs everything that worked so well in the original; the conversational tone, interactive elements, clear and actionable strategies; with new tools, new illustrations, and up-to-date expert advise. Lively metaphors make concepts easy to understand while clear, how-to steps and prompts to draw and write arm children with 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.
