Using easy to understand yet rarely taught skills for anger management, including how to teach communication of emotions, A Volcano in My Tummy offers engaging, well-organized activities which help to overcome the fear of children's anger which many adult care-givers experience. By carefully distinguishing between anger the feeling, and violence the behavior, this accessible little book, primarily created for ages 6 to thirteen, helps to create an awareness of anger, enabling children to relate creatively and harmoniously at critical stages in their development. Through activities, stories, articles, and games designed to allow a multi-subject, developmental approach to the topic at home and in school, A Volcano in My Tummy gives us the tools we need to put aside our problems with this all-too-often destructive emotion, and to have fun while we're at it. Elaine Whitehouse is a teacher, family court and private psychotherapist, mother of two and leader of parenting skills workshops for eight years. Warwick Pudney is a teacher and counsellor with ten years experience facilitating anger management, abuser therapy and men's change groups, as well as being a father of three. Both regularly conduct workshops. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A real help when working with childrenI am a developmental and behavioral pediatrician, who has worked with children for many years on issues of emotional control.

I really feel that people working with children exhibiting anger, should ...

Another outstanding resource for parents and educators is Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying. It not only helps kids to deal with feelings of anger but expression of all feelings; it provides activities and detailed classroom-tested lessons on how to manage these feelings, assertiveness vs aggressiveness; conflict resolution; getting along; being ... Read More Rating:  - Written for teachers/counselors more than parentsThe premise of the book is that anger is okay and natural, and you do not need to feel ashamed or scared when you are angry. You can talk about your anger, and try to physically calm your body, but you cannot be abusive and hurt yourself, others, or property. If you are a parent hoping to help a child with anger issues, this is probably not the best book for you. It is basically a series of lesson plans designed for teachers/counselors to use when teaching students about anger and constructive ...

Rating: - A Volcano in My TummyIt was not what I thought. I thought it was a book to read to kids, instead it is a WONDERFUL workbook with ideas, activities, etc. Definately for teachers but very useful even for this grandma! |
