How to Be Angry: An Assertive Anger Expression Group Guide for Kids and Teens by Signe Whitson

Children often struggle to cope with anger, and angry feelings can boil over into aggression and destructive behaviour. This resource takes a different approach to anger, teaching children how to be angry effectively, rather than telling them not to be angry at all.

Using I-Statements
Standing Up to Bullies
Disagreeing without Arguing
Making and Refusing Requests
Responding to Anger
Finding WinWin Solutions

Suitable for use with children and teenagers aged 5 - 18, this engaging resource will help children to overcome self-destructive patterns of passive, aggressive, and passive aggressive behaviour. It will be of great use to educators, counselors, social workers, youth care professionals, psychologists and parents.
