Synopsis

All schools and many parents have to cope with children and young people who have difficulties managing their anger. This practical guide will:

• Increase your understanding of anger

• Offer you a range of practical management interventions

• Reduce the stress experienced by staff and parents who lack confidence in the face of aggressive behaviour.

The authors of this book provide information, insight and strategies for understanding and managing anger more effectively. They outline impulse control, social skills, moral judgements, environmental factors and therapeutic approaches which will help the reader consider their own anger as well as their reaction to the anger of others. With specific ideas for working with children provided, as well as helpful photocopies of resources, this book will prove invaluable to teachers as well as parents, carers, psychologist, social workers and health care workers.

About this title

Review

'The book does prescisely what it says in the title - there are lots of practical ideas you can use immediately for working with children who have difficulties managing anger...Have used this in INSET and teachers said they learned something about themselves too! There is just the right amount of theory, which allows the reader to fully understand responses in inappropriate behaviour rather than applying quick fix strategies which have only a short term effect...In my view this is an absolute must for all primary and secondary teachers/SENCos- buy this and you may find yourself ditching those star charts forever!!' - Customer Review, Amazon
