  • Interest Level: Grade 2 - Grade 5
  • Reading Level: Grade 3

An updated edition of the classic interactive self-help book What to Do When Your Temper Flares pairs everything that worked so well in the original—the conversational tone, interactive elements, clear and actionable strategies—with new mindfulness tools, reordered step-by-step instructions, and updated advice for modern issues.

This book arms kids with a set of “anger dousing” methods aimed at cooling angry thoughts and controlling angry actions, resulting in calmer, more balanced kids. Includes a note to parents and caregivers with additional information on cognitive-behavioral techniques used to treat problems with anger.

This updated edition is part of the What-to-Do Guides for Kids series, self-help books designed to guide kids through the cognitive-behavioral techniques most often used in the treatment of various psychological concerns. Engaging, encouraging, and easy to follow, these books educate, motivate, and empower children to work towards change.
