I was excited to have the opportunity to review this workbook by Dr. Dawn Huebner. As a mother of a child with ADHD/ODD, tempers are a common daily occurrence. I worked through this workbook with my pre-teen child and he found the concepts easy to understand and relatable, and he has been able to implement these concepts in his day to day life. The concepts covered in the workbook also reinforced the concepts that we've been working through in his play based therapy sessions. This is a wonderful workbook for anyone who has a 'big feeler' in their life.

After reading both What to Do When You Worry Too Much Second Edition: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety and What to Do When Mistakes Make You Quake: A Kid's Guide to Accepting Imperfection and seeing what a great tool they were, I was so excited to find a version on temper as well!

Just like in the other 2 cases, this 2nd edition has a much more modern feel, and I'm pleased to see that some of the content has been changed/updated to reflect our understanding of mindfulness at present. When we know better, we need to do better. Dawn Huebner seems to uphold that sentiment once again! Reordering some of the steps in this edition was a nuanced change, but one that I certainly found value in.

My son isn't even 2 years old yet, so I wouldn't personally use this right now. But I'm hoping that by the time this would be feasible for him there will be an even newer edition we can purchase. If not, I'll be adding this exact book to our family library :)

These workbooks are so helpful. Great techniques and helpful tips. Easy to follow. This is an important topic and will make a difference for many.
