Product Description

You can be good -- and angry. After all, everyone gets angry once in a while. That's normal. But what should we do with our anger? Do we have any choices?Mad Isn't Bad says children do have choices. Just as importantly, caring adults have choices about what to teach children about anger. By helping children and ourselves better understand what anger really is -- and knowing what it feels like and what makes us angry to begin with -- we can learn and teach healthy ways to handle it.Mad Isn't Bad is a book every parent, teacher, and caring adult will appreciate -- because it offers children of all ages a positive and honest view of anger -- and what to do with it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing ending? 16 April 2010
Format:Paperback
Fantastic book in every way, brilliantly written, fab pictures ... but beware the religious ending!!! If you are religious this book is to be highly recommended, however, if you're not then the last couple of pages spoil a good book in my opinion. Had I been aware of the content prior to purchase I would have chosen an alternative, however, having bought it anyway it's definitely ok and a good opportunity to address anger issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mad isn't bad a childs book about anger 9 Dec 2009
By Julay
Format:Paperback
This is a beautifully written and illustrated book. Each page has a different scenario that tackles when, where and why a child might get angry. It shows children it's not bad to be angry and what they could do with their anger.

I wanted this book to show the children anger is just another feeling and nothing to be ashamed of. Just looking at this book and talking about it makes them realise they are not alone.

Great little book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book 31 Mar 2010
By S. D. Williams TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my son who is autistic. He has problems with anger and tantrums due to frustration and I am trying to teach him ways of dealing with this emotion. My son is 8 and can't read but this is a book with a nice story which I can read to him. It is nicely illustrated which is important for autistic children.
