Introductory material is informative
7 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
I'm not a child psychology professional: I bought this book to help me to address behavioral issues for my own children. As a parent with limited experience in anger management, the introductory material ("Theoretical and practical background") was helpful and informative. It presents the basic theory of how anger manifests itself in children, describes the key objectives of managing anger in children, and reviews basic techniques. In particular, it points out special aspects that make anger management different for children, compared to adults.
The games, on the other hand, did not seem to have very much to do with anger management, per se. They consist of a nice collection of social interaction games (introducing yourself to others, using language to describe subjective experiences, variations on "telephone," variations on musical chairs, collaborative activities (story-telling, drawing, etc.), memory games, pattern recognition games, etc.). Having minimal experience with anger management, I was expecting a more direct connection between the anger management strategies described in "theoretical and practical background" and the games themselves.

Valuable Tool!!
18 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
This is a wonderful tool for not only group facilitators but for parents too. In section one you will find a comprehensive overview of the effects of anger, the triggers, and what I found most fascinating was the biological effects of anger that occurs in the brain of these children and of course keys to help manage the anger. I am thankful to have stumble upon this treasure.

This is a good book to add to your resource list. I used this as supplemental activities for my anger management groups with 4th through 7th graders.
