Description

By Bernard Golden, Ph.D.

How should we respond to a child’s temper tantrum? To a teenager’s sullen resentment? How can we help children and teens experience their anger without being overwhelmed by it? How can we deal with their anger before it leads to depression, isolation, or even violence?

This book offers specific, practical strategies for helping children and teens manage their anger constructively. Golden has developed a set of skills that parents, teachers, and counselors can use to show children how to:

  • identify the causes of anger
  • respond to it in ways that lead to an internal sense of competence and self-control
  • use anger to understand their own emotional situation
  • develop a greater capacity for empathy towards themselves and others

Parents are shown, through clear, step-by-step instructions and problem-solving skills, how to cope with outbursts, how to derail escalating anger, reward good behaviors, 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.
