Anger Management for Kids 5 to 8: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to teach Your Kids Effective Anger Management Tactics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088226971)

An anger management book for kids might sound like a silly idea. Or maybe you've tried reading one and thought, "Not for kids!" But anger is also a big issue for the little ones, and the sooner we can teach them how to deal with it, the better off they will be as adults. Anger is a major factor in bullying, aggression, and violence. Peer pressure, the desire for popularity, and bullies can push kids to act out in ways that are uncharacteristic of their true personalities. The result could be harsh words, manipulative behavior, or physical "payback." This book is for kids who have exhibited anger-related behavior that they wish they could take back.

Anger management books are typically aimed at teens, but it's important to remember that even younger kids can be affected by angry and aggressive behavior. Big emotions scare everyone, and kids have a lot of frightening emotions buried deep inside. They may have an easy time showing their fierce loyalty to their favorite baseball team, but when something upsets them, they are overwhelmed, and it's hard to know how to behave. This book answers the questions that kids ask themselves when facing these big and unfamiliar emotions. A gentle introduction to the topic is necessary. This book touches on the subject of anger, but not in any way that is intense or overwhelming. The words anger, hurt and upset will be used light-heartedly, while the real information is presented in the text that is more informative than sensational. This is an inclusive, naturalistic book designed to be beginner-friendly and engaging. It can be used as a guide for children struggling with behavior issues or as a valuable tool to help kids understand the importance of learning to control their emotions. Anger management programs and classes exist for kids who need support managing their anger issues. This book can be used in conjunction with those programs, therapy sessions, parent meetings, or group counseling sessions to help kids learn about managing their feelings. While individual treatment will vary, providing this book to parents may help them find some answers to help their children cope with big emotions. So, let's talk about anger: why it starts, why it matters, and what we can do about it.
