Synopsis

This series recognizes that children are entitled to their feelings even when their behavior needs to be corrected. It acknowledges specific feelings and offers children several ways to deal with them. Each book features a choose-your-own-adventure format, and shows what different outcomes of choices might be—allowing children to back up and try another solution if they don’t like the outcome, or to try a variety of choices to see how each might turn out.

 

When Matt’s little brother ruins his best baseball card, Matt wants to “knock him flat.” Readers will identify with Matt’s feelings, and can help him choose a better way to handle his anger.

From the Back Cover

Sometimes children's anger overwhelms them. Often kids have a hard time thinking of alternatives to aggressive behavior when they feel angry. But telling children "use words" or sending them to their rooms rarely provides long-term solutions to handling strong emotions. In this book, Elizabeth Crary provides options children can use to diffuse their anger without denying it or feeling shame about it.
