Inhaltsangabe

Anger is okay. What comes next is something your child can learn.

The tower a sibling knocked down. Being told no at exactly the wrong moment, again. Ten seconds later there's a red face, a scream, a toy across the room — and a child who has no idea what just happened to them.

The Kids' Book of Anger is an illustrated guide for ages 4 to 8 that explains what anger is, why it arrives so fast, and what a child can do while it's happening. Its first lesson is the one the whole house needs: the anger itself is fine. The part after is the part you can practice, and you practice it together.

Inside your child will find:

• How anger feels in the body — a hot face, fists that won't unclench. The early signs, before the shouting starts.
• Everyday moments they'll recognize, like losing a game or being told to stop in the middle of something.
• A way to notice anger building, so there's a moment to choose before the top blows off.
• A breathing exercise short enough to work mid-tantrum, not just afterward.
• Movement that gets the anger out safely — stomping, or pushing hard against a wall — so a body that needs to do something has something to do.
• Quiet time explained as a choice, with something to do while they're there. It stops reading as punishment.
• Three calming strategies — breathing, movement, and quiet time — the same ones teachers and therapists reach for first.

Use it at home, at school, or alongside counseling. The feeling moves faster than your child does. This book helps them catch up.
