Comments on: Anger Management Games For Children http://edutoysbookmark.com/anger-management/anger-management-games-for-children.htm Educational And Toys Tips Review | EduToysBookmark.COM Fri, 16 Jul 2010 07:03:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Philly Mom http://edutoysbookmark.com/anger-management/anger-management-games-for-children.htm/comment-page-1#comment-627 Philly Mom Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:01:21 +0000 http://edutoysbookmark.com/?p=1024#comment-627 I'm not a child psychology professional: I bought this book to help me to address behavioral issues for my own children. As a parent with limited experience in anger management, the introductory material ("Theoretical and practical background") was helpful and informative. It presents the basic theory of how anger manifests itself in children, describes the key objectives of managing anger in children, and reviews basic techniques. In particular, it points out special aspects that make anger management different for children, compared to adults. <br /> <br />The games, on the other hand, did not seem to have very much to do with anger management, per se. They consist of a nice collection of social interaction games (introducing yourself to others, using language to describe subjective experiences, variations on "telephone," variations on musical chairs, collaborative activities (story-telling, drawing, etc.), memory games, pattern recognition games, etc.). Having minimal experience with anger management, I was expecting a more direct connection between the anger management strategies described in "theoretical and practical background" and the games themselves.

In section one you will find a comprehensive overview of the effects of anger, the triggers, and what I found most fascinating was the biological effects of anger that occurs in the brain of these children and of course keys to help manage the anger. I am thankful to have stumble upon this treasure. Rating: 5 / 5 This is a wonderful tool for not only group facilitators but for parents too.

All of our students have behavior issues along with austism, etc... This book has been a wonderful tool to help teach the students that it is okay to be angry, but not okay to hurt others.
