Practical, clear guidance by Renee Haynes (Spokane, WA)  5 Stars
July 04, 2009
This book hit the nail on the head. Not only did the authors address the child's issues, but they address the needs of the parents as well. It contains very clear and relevant situations for teaching children about feelings, before, during and after a crisis. The examples are extremely useful without being preachy. The whole tone of the book is supportive and understanding, which struggling parents need. I even like the length of this book, as it's thorough without requiring a month to read, which busy parents can rarely spare. Outstanding!

What Angry Kids Need gives answers by G. Mohr 5 Stars
November 20, 2008
Great, practical guide! I'm a teacher and I recommend this book to my students' parents. It is not just another "head-shed" psychobable exercise in double-speak. It is full of practical, ready to use techniques that will help the struggling parent maintain positive control of an angry child. Giving children a vocabulary to express their feelings is just one of the many effective prescriptions this book offers up. A must read for professionals as well as parents.
