STARVING THE ANGER GREMLIN FOR CHILDREN AGED 59

I love this book. My child is only 7 and he is following along really well. I break up most chapters into 2-3 "lessons" with my son so we can get as much out of it as possible. I'm even finding uses for this book in my classroom with some of my "quick to anger" students. It is written using British english (or some other kind that isn't American English) so I do have to switch some of the sayings around to American English: i.e. "tell off" a has negative connotation in American English so I just switch this to "got into trouble with_____." Anyway, that is about the closest thing I have to a critique of the workbook. :)

Excellent! Would highly recommend this book!

It is the great book to teach children to manage their angers.

This is an excellent book for children with anxiety. I have used this book twice with my (now 6 year old) daughter. She suffered with terrible anxiety when she started reception classes and faded away into a timid thing, always crying or feeling unwell due to anxiety symptoms. Because of her age there was really anything the doctor could offer to help. Then someone advised me to try CBT books. I ordered this and 'What to do when you worry too much'. The first time we used the books she couldn't read but enjoyed me reading and us doing the activities together. They completely transformed her, in just over a week we were able to help her control her anxiety gremlin.I think the 'What to do when you worry too much' probably paid a big part in this aswell. From then on she blossomed and if she ever started to have worries then we could remind her of how to cope.She has recently suddenly started to get anxious again so we ordered this book again (as we had given the previous one to a friend who also had an anxious child). And again it has worked its wonders - this time at 6 years old she is able to read it herself but we still sit together to work through it. And she really enjoys doing it - I think she recognises that it helps her. In a little over a week she is beginning to become more confident again - and relaxing more. Now that she is a little older she much prefers this book to 'What to do if you worry too much'.If you have a anxious child I would recommend this book - reading it together also helps you to understand how to help them.It is upsetting and frustrating when your child is anxious and misses out on things which you know they would otherwise enjoy. Reading this helps you feel like you are doing something usfeul to get them past the problem.

My son was really struggling with anxiety and it took us a long time to find him a counselor. His school guidance counselor recommended this book to us and it has made all the difference! We have been able to "walk" through different exercises and my son (8) absolutely loves it! It has helped him so much, more than I honestly expected it to!
