This book is amazing! I bought this for my 8 yr old daughter who is going through some tough times controlling her anger. We've tried many ideas of our own before to attempt to stop her going into full blown tantrums with very little lasting effect. This book is great as she can read it easily herself, although we sit and read a chapter in bed each night together. She doesn't feel so alone with her feelings and she loves that the book is describing what's in her head exactly. It has practical ways of stopping the anger get out of control which she is now employing and is on her way to 10 knots (you'll understand when you read the book!). This is the first time she has felt able to try and sort it out and for that I'm very grateful to the authors. It's based on cognitive behavioural therapy so actually works and there are lots of bits in the book for them to write their own thoughts and examples in so it's really interactive. It's not gender specific and would appeal to either boys or girls and uses some great analogies to explain anger and how it gets out of control eg driving a car. If you are struggling with an 'angry child' please try this book.Read full review
