My eight year old son has a pretty hot temper and was getting in trouble at school because of it. He was also having trouble making and keeping friends. Does this sound familiar? Read on. We liked this book because he could read it himself. It also has questions as you go through to help reinforce the different concepts and apply them to your own situation. It is amusing, I colud hear my son laughing as he was reading it and he would say "Mom come and look at this, It's really funny". The book gives clear guidelines regarding how to 'Chill Out' which my son is beginning to use with VERY good effect. I would recommend this book to anyone with an angry child.

I think this book is already helping my 11-year old son. Although I could not get him to read the book himself, he was willing to listen and interact as I read it to him. Because it is very focused and relatively short, this approach worked for us. The real breakthrough came in doing one of the distraction exercises recommended. -- My son was truly amazed as a smile played over his face and he said, "It works, I can't stay mad." He still has a long way to go, but he has some new tools now to try to change his life.
