How I Learned to Control My Temper

Ages: 6-12. By Debbie Pincus. This is a storybook and workbook in one! The first half of the book is a story about Michael, who flies into a rage at the slightest provocation. Michael learns a variety of ways to control his temper and finds out how much better he is treated by both adults and other children when he talks things out rather than acting them out.

The second half of the book teaches readers the same self-control skills that Michael learned by completing 24 activities aimed at helping kids understand their anger and develop alternative ways to express themselves. These reproducible and fun exercises teach children how to identify when they are angry; how to cope with angry feelings; to be assertive instead of aggressive; and much more! 68-pages, spiral-bound, includes CD.
