Children relate to the angry octopus in this story as the sea child shows him how to take a deep breath, calm down, and manage his anger.

Muscular relaxation can lower stress and anxiety levels. It can be used to decrease pain and anger.

Beautifully Illustrated book for the Family,
This review is from: Angry Octopus: An Anger Management Story introducing active progressive muscular relaxation and deep breathing (Paperback)
What a great book the Angry Octopus is! My children and I have been reading it every night before going to bed. I have downloaded a digital version of the book and my kids enjoy reading it on my laptop. They make comments about the beautiful illustrations present in the book. The most valuable thing for me is that it teaches kids that it is OK to get angry sometimes but there are also appropriate and healthy ways to deal with anger. And the book definitely teaches us how to manage our anger in a healthy way. I am planning to buy more books written by Lori Lite as she addresses stress management is a professional manner that is also very enjoyable from a child perspective. Thanks Lori!

Great book for teaching children about anger and relaxation,
By E. Adams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Angry Octopus: An Anger Management Story introducing Active Progressive Muscular Relaxation and Deep Breathing. (Hardcover)
I am a graduate student in clinical psychology that works primarily with children. I am also an aunt and a collector of childrens books. I have purchased three copies of this book to date. The illustrations are beautiful, the story is appealing to children, and the book functions as a way to teach relaxation and helps to soothe the child.I added this book to my own collection, and have purchased two as gifts for my niece (age 5) and cousin (age 6). They both love the book. My sister in law has told me that her daughter was having difficulties with tantrums, and after a few weeks of reading, is using the techniques with her daughter to help her relax before a tantrum escalates. The book is fun, a great story, and an appropriate way to help children identify and manage anger. I highly recommend this book. 28 of 28 people found the following review helpful

My 5 year old loves this book!,
By Maya A. Polli "Avid Children's book collector" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Angry Octopus: An Anger Management Story introducing Active Progressive Muscular Relaxation and Deep Breathing. (Hardcover)
I am a Mom with a very sensitive 5 year old. I have trouble expressing my anger and have struggled teaching my son a healthy way to express his. I don't want him to just hold it in like me because that isn't healthy, but there have been times when his anger is so explosive I wonder how healthy that is as well. The book has helped us both. It has given us both a healthy way of expressing and diffusing our anger.The illustrations in this book are fabulous. My son laughs at all the funny expressions on the Octopus's face as he learns to tighten and then relax his muscles. He had me read the book twice last night. THANK YOU for this book! 21 of 21 people found the following review helpful

oustanding childrens book,
By Dr. L. Teegarden - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Angry Octopus: An Anger Management Story introducing Active Progressive Muscular Relaxation and Deep Breathing. (Hardcover)
I am a clinical psychologist who purchased this book for my children (ages 4 and 6). They love the book! The first time I read the book to them, they both engaged in the progressive muscle relaxation without any prompting from me. Several days after having read the book, my six year old spontaneously talked about how he could manage his anger by doing what the octopus did. This was exactly what I had hoped would happen when I purchased the book. I highly recommend this book as it effectively teaches PMR skills in an engaging story format that kids will remember. A must have for anyone with children or anyone who works with children.
