"Roaring Mad Riley captures the many sensations that all children
feel in moments of frustration, hurt, and anger. This wonderful
book helps children to name their feelings while being heard in the
moment. I love how the author creates co-regulation practices
through breath and validation as Riley is encouraged to reframe the
possibilities through a painful problem." --Dr. Lori Desautels
"Roaring Mad Riley is a clever story for young kids about managing
anger, and it's an exceptional tool for grown-ups to have.
Educators, childcare workers, and parents will love the bank of
strategies to reinforce concepts from the story. Young children
will be able to relate to the cycle of emotions Riley experiences
as she resolves feeling roaring mad. I can clearly visualize a
teacher utilizing this book to guide students through regulating
their emotions. Allison Szczecinski's work is a true culmination of
her expertise as a brilliant teacher and counselor to young
children." --Rozy Patel, M.A.T., M.Ed., Award-Winning Educator and
Manager of Mentoring with the Golden Apple Foundation
"We all know that everyone gets angry sometimes, but it's how you
deal with that anger that matters. Roaring Mad Riley gives
practical tips for handling anger in the context of a fun and
engaging dinosaur theme. Allison's extension activities and
conversation starters provide teachers or caregivers a helpful
guide for continuing learning on this topic. Everyone needs this
book on their bookshelf!" --Sasha Long, M.A., BCBA, Founder and
President of The Autism Helper, Inc.
"What an awesome read! Roaring Mad Riley captures what's at the
heart of emotion regulation, recognizing the feeling and providing
strategy to deal with it! As a young person, it's totally
relatable. As an educator, it's a valuable resource. As a parent,
it's a true blessing!" --Kesa Thurman-Stovall, Vice President of
Mentoring & Teacher Development, Golden Apple Foundation
