"Anger Management Workbook for Kids is a comprehensive compilation
of exercises aimed at identifying anger and its triggers and
finding tools to deal with the frustrations that lead to an
outburst or hurt feelings. Samantha Snowden uses all types of
identifiable situations that children find in everyday life, and
includes easy charts and formulas that show how to head off anger
by learning the triggers. She furthers the experience by teaching
what causes those feelings, both physically and emotionally, as
well as exploring possible unwanted consequences. This book is a
must-read for parents, educators, and children, and should enable
all readers to find the monster that anger can become, remove its
fangs, and reduce its power forever."--Carole P. Roman, author of
Mindfulness for Kids
"As a former teacher and school counselor, I find Samantha
Snowden's The Anger Management Workbook for Kids to be an
incredible resource and tool to help kids go beyond managing anger
to replacing it with choices that help them thrive. This useful
workbook is thorough, yet not heavy in any way. Snowden has
performed a beautiful balancing act with this book, providing kids
with information; exploration and interaction; and activities,
strategies, and skills that they can take out of the workbook and
into their lives. The workbook is inviting and non-judgmental--kids
don't feel accused or like adults want to "fix" them. In a gentle
yet honest and frank way, this book helps kids explore their anger
(thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and behaviors), its causes,
and its consequences. I highly recommend this book for any child
whose anger is overpowering and interfering in their life. With its
approach that neither shames nor reprimands, kids will develop
understanding and skills that will help now and as they grow into
adults."--Tanya J. Peterson, MS, NCC, author of eight mental health
books, including The Mindfulness Workbook for Anxiety
"Samantha Snowden has created an engaging, thoughtful workbook for
kids who are interested in exploring exactly what is taking place
inside our bodies and minds as anger forms. These hands-on
activities encourage communication, self-reflection, and
creativity, as children are guided step-by-step to investigate
their emotions, recognize and identify feelings and needs, and
practice, and ultimately shift, negative reactions. I highly
recommend this interactive book, and applaud with gratitude
Snowden's support of self-awareness, connectivity, and
compassion."--J. Robin Albertson-Wren, parent, teacher, mindfulness
instructor, public speaker, and co-author of Mindfulness for
Kids
"With this workbook, Samantha Snowden has provided a rich and
useful set of practices to help develop the skills to notice and
manage our internal states. Once kids start to develop a sense of
freedom from their own emotions--not by ignoring them or pushing
them away, but by validating the processes and circumstances that
are creating them--great self-regulation skills can start to
develop...The exercises and readings in this book will help kids of
all ages break through the habit of automatic reactions, provide
tools for labeling and understanding how their anger and discomfort
work, and support them on the path of learning to be comfortable
with their own emotions."--Andrew Hill, PhD, Founding Director of
the Peak Brain Institute and UCLA Lecturer in Psychology
