This revised edition in the series covers dealing with anger. The examples are clearly written and easy for children to relate to, with worksheets, activities, reflection questions, and case examples distributed throughout. An good addition to a school library or public library as a support for teachers and parents dealing with tempers and anger.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book provided by the publisher, American Psychological Association, via NetGalley.

An excellent workbook for children that educates on the cost/benefit of anger, cognitive distortions, healthy coping skills and psychoeducation on the fight or flight response.

Some quick essentials about this book:

1. The language used in this book is appropriate for the age level from 8-14 in my opinion.
2. Lots of interactive discussion questions and activities that children will find engaging.
3. The illustrations in this book are also fun! I am a therapist that works with. Children often, so having a workbook that has amusing illustrations is a big plus! A lot of children that I have worked with often get disengaged due to just words on a page, this workbook looks almost like a story book in some ways.

I love how this workbook addresses multiple ways to cool anger, addressing negative thoughts, impulsiveness and mindfulness skills that children can utilize. I'm a big advocate for having a multifaceted approach when managing strong emotions.

This is a great book for kiddos who struggle with flaring tempers. Mine is 10, and he definitely struggles with that, and has since he was very small.

The book starts with a quiz to help you see if your anger is helping you or hurting you (obvious, perhaps, but made my kiddo think) and goes on to detail what anger feels like and what causes it, and then many ways to help you calm it.

The exercises help drive home the lessons and make kids think about their anger and how they can approach things differently.

Highly recommend.

There are so many books that help us handle about the temper flares but this one is exciting with clear step by step instructions and relevancy to this modern world. Hopefully you will get blessing from this book.

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.
