It starts with a spark, igniting us with energy and purpose. But it can also blaze out of control, causing lots of problems. If you're a kid whose temper quickly flares, a kid whose anger gets too big, too hot, too fast, this book is for you. What to Do When Your Temper Flares guides children and their parents through the cognitive-behavioral techniques used to treat problems with anger.

As a therapist this book provides a multi-sensory approach with lots of options and choices that the kids can make in learning to control their anger. I had one child this week really get into the relaxation techniques, and I love the "vacuum cleaner" concept of not getting "sucked in" to anger. Rating: - Try, try againHi. My son is 9 and has difficulty with anger which has been a continuous but generally not overwhelming problem. After an episode where he broke his brother's favorite video game we had a chat and then I showed him the book. We went over each chapter after he read it but he said it didn't really help. He said it was boring and he didn't see how any of the suggestions given could help him. I thought it looked pretty good and I will pass it along to our school psychologist.
