Powerful and simple skills grounded in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help kids deal with anger and stay calm.

Kids often need extra help managing their emotions, and this is especially true when it comes to anger. Out-of-control anger and temper tantrums can interfere with making friends, learning in school, and all aspects of life. But there are tools your child can use to respond to anger in healthier ways. This workbook can help kids increase their awareness of anger and regulate it more effectively.

The Anger Workbook for Kids offers clinically proven, hands-on activities grounded in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help kids manage anger, regulate their emotions, handle conflict with peers, and express big feelings in healthier ways. Children will also gain a better understanding of how their anger impacts others, and what to do when anger has hurt friendships or other relationships.

This workbook will help kids:

Identify anger triggers
Understand and describe their feelings
“Hit pause” when anger starts to take control
Repair friendships damaged by anger
Express their feelings

Anger is a natural emotion that even adults struggle with. This friendly workbook takes a non-judgmental approach to help kids take control of their anger before it leads to aggression or outbursts—skills that will serve them well into the future!

I purchased this workbook for my daughter to help her understand the issues she was having. It took me a while to help her understand that the book was not only for anger, but feelings in general and how to handle them and deal with the feelings leading up to anger, and how to avoid some of it all together, or possibly deal with it in another way. This book helped her understand that the feelings she felt weren't uncommon and they existed for good reason, and it wasn't her fault. This book has helped her understand why she feels the way she does at certain times and how to deal with it better and sometimes resolve the feelings on her own, giving her other outlets, such as writing or simply finding other ways to express her feelings. This book has helped in many ways, and I recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this for our daughter as she has a hard time regulating emotions. Her anger gets the best of her. It’s a book you need to sit and do with them as the words used aren’t necessarily for her age. I would definitely recommend purchasing to help aid any child you are taking care of to assist them in self discovery.

We are using this for a couple of months as our health/social-emotional curriculum. The kids love it! We use more as a jumping off place for discussions, rather than filling it out as a workbook. Each lesson takes us less than 15 minutes.
