Healthy Anger: How to Help Children and Teens Manage Their Anger

Author(s) : Bernard Golden

Reviews and Endorsements

Unlike many who suggest that anger should be repressed, Golden argues that anger is a natural human emotion intricately connected with a range of other thoughts and feelings. He stresses that anger, when properly understood, tells us more about our own wants and needs than about the person or situation that has caused the anger.Golden has developed a set of skills that parents, teachers, and counsellors can use to show children how to identify the causes of anger; how to respond to anger in ways that lead to an internal sense of competence and self-control; how to use anger to understand their own emotional situation; and how to develop a greater capacity for empathy towards themselves and others. And he shows parents how to cope with outbursts - including clear, step-by-step instructions and problem-solving skills - how to derail escalating anger, reward good behaviours, and recognize when professional help is needed. For anyone who has ever helplessly confronted a child's rage or a teenager's defiant fury, "Healthy Anger" offers a wealth of wise insight, clear advice, and eminently practical strategies for turning anger into understanding.
