Anger Management Workbook for Kids: 50 Fun Activities to Help Children Stay Calm and Make Better Choices When They Feel Mad (Health and Wellness Workbooks for Kids)

I bought this for my niece who has been having angry out bursts and breakdowns. She has been dealing with some adult issues recently and I wanted to find a way to help her better understand herself and others around her. She couldn't get enough of this book. Her mother is wonderful and worked with her and says it got her to begin understanding how anger feels vs other emotions, how she acts and what alternatives she can use when angry about something. It also helped her understand anger in others and realized she was misunderstanding how others were reacting to her. She's a wonderful 8 year old who is very aware of what is happening around her but just needed some direction on what it means to her emotionally and have her options on how to cope the best she can. I highly recommend this book! Kids are full of questions and we're should be the ones to help guide them. If you don't know how, use resources like there's or inquire with others but first and foremost, listen to what your kids are saying about the world around them and engage in conversation. The most impressionable years on their lives are up to age 7. Take advantage and communicate. Best of luck to all those who have kids. You have the worlds future in that child. God Bless

My son has had really bad anger and rage issues for the last 2 years. We have tried pretty much everything from calming techniques, contact sports, counseling, etc. Nothing seemed to even slightly help. However we have seen a dramatic improvement since using this workbook. We are only on the 5th activity but he is starting to recognize his anger more and enjoys working in it. I can tell you the first time we told him about it and the first activity sheet was a very very rough go. I am excited to see how he will be at the end of the entire workbook. Personally I think the book looks super cool, fun to work through and very colorful and kid friendly. Great teacher about anger and even explains it in a biological way

I bought this for my classroom and have actually made copies for my own kid.

My 6 year old is really quick to anger and react in certain situations. I am looking for anything to help him slow his thoughts, identify his feelings and emotions and react accordingly. I am aware that a lot of his anger is quick reaction and done. Maybe not true anger but strong dissatisfaction. I think this book is a little advanced for most 6 year olds. We really have to talk out some of the activities and vocabulary. However some of the tasks have been great and he enjoys doing it with me. Others seem to be a little too abstract for his understanding. I am very appreciative of some of the discussions we have had because of the book, though. I do think this book could be really great for older kids who anger more easily and hang on to that anger. Lots of great activities, discussion and ideas within!

This helpful workbook is destined to be used by many counselors and parents as it covers a wide spectrum of issues. It’s a tool that will likely get repeated use, and it keeps mindfulness in the background as it helps adults work towards solutions and/or develop strategies. Each section begins with an introduction that provides insights for adults, followed by three to five exercises for kids. Although each exercise has spaces where answers can be written and pictures drawn, it’s likely many of these will be conducted orally, as counselors decide what’s appropriate for each situation. Some representative examples of the sections include: What Else Can Anger Be, with corresponding exercises on getting to know fear, sadness, and disappointment; and Who Makes Me Feel Angry, with four sections that include When Things Get Hard at Home, and Conflicts at School. Parents who purchase this book may find it provides insights into situations they are seeing at home. In some cases, simply being able to recognize the issue(s) is useful and act upon it may be enough, but in other cases the questions may help to highlight an underlying cause or to suggest a situation is escalating and professional help would be useful. Any tool that helps adults support a child’s emotional development is useful, provided it is adapted to individual cases. Author Samantha Snowden has a master’s degree in clinical and educational psychology and extensive experience.

My daughter is absolutely loving this! 3.5 yr grandson showing aggression.

This book provides useful insights on anger management, but it is not ideally suited for younger children. I would recommend it for children aged 10 and older, as the content and language are more appropriate for that age group. Younger readers may find it less engaging and harder to relate to. There are other books available that better capture the attention of younger children while helping them understand and manage their emotions.

Says for 6 plus, my little one is 5 and understands everything that is read to him from this book, the pictures def help him understand even more, he is constantly pointing them out and repeating back to me what i have read. I found this book an extreme help for our little one who in the past has had trouble understanding that it's okay to be mad, sad or upset but it's his reaction that is going to count the most. This book has helped us tremendously with him as well as all the examples to do. All in all it was def worth the time and buy, for me it's a plus!!
