A Volcano in My Tummy: Helping Children to Handle Anger

Description

This book presents a clear and effective approach to helping children and adults alike understand and deal constructively with children's anger. The book offers engaging, well-organised activities which help to overcome the fear of children's anger which many adult care-givers experience, and distinguishes between anger the feeling, and violence the behaviour. Primarily created for ages 6 to thirteen, it is accessible for use in class or at home.

Elaine Whitehouse is a teacher, family court and private psychotherapist, mother of two and leader of parenting skills workshops for eight years. Warwick Pudney is a teacher and counsellor with ten years experience facilitating anger management, abuser therapy and men's change groups, as well as being a father of three. Both regularly conduct workshops.

"This is a wonderful book about anger. We need as many new and creative approaches to handling anger as we can find. A Volcano in my Tummy is full of useful ways for teachers and caregivers to help young people learn safe and effective means of responding anger nonviolently." -- Priscilla Prutzman, co-author The Friendly Classroom for a Small Planet and co-founder of Children's Creative Response to Conflict, based in New York.
