Cool Down and Work Through Anger Description
Review
“Cool Down and Work Through Anger is an excellent book for helping children understand this unpleasant but normal emotion. The book takes an evidence-based approach which is recommended in the early childhood field. When their teacher reads this book, children will learn that feeling angry is perfectly normal but that hurting somebody because you are angry is not acceptable. The book gives very helpful strategies for helping children deal with anger.”
—Marian Marion, Ph.D., Professor, Early Childhood Education, Governors State University
“A delightful addition to the series. I particularly like the focus on what kids can do to handle their anger more constructively, rather than focusing on what not to do. . . . Will appeal to kids as well as those who work with them.”
—James J. Crist, Ph.D., author of What to Do When You’re Scared and Worried and Mad
