A resource book for teachers, parents, and caregivers designed to encourage children to see their anger and to deal constructively with it. Includes sections on key concepts, building a child's self-esteem, what adults can do when a child is angry, developing an anger management program, troubleshooting, and a special section for teachers that integrates the resource with other curriculum areas. Exercises are clearly described, indicating appropriate age levels (6-15 year olds), teaching strategies, materials and procedures to follow, with worksheets for the children's use. This book emphasises that parents and caregivers need to model the behaviour that they want their children to adopt, so the exercises and advice prompt adults to consider their own behaviours and reactions. Activities are age-appropriate and include, for example, a worksheet on which children are encouraged to write down angry experiences that have been bottled up, as an activity to get children thinking about healthier ways of dealing with angry feelings than bottling them up. Audience: Child 6 – 15 years, with an accompanying adult, Adult, Adult caregiver. Activity book.
