If parents want to learn the anger-reducing techniques (ART) to help their kids deal with anger, this workbook will provide the practice. Parents will practice the following:

In writing the When Hurting Turns to Anger: How Parents Can Help Their Kids book, I knew that a workbook would help parents cement the concepts more firmly in their minds. Additionally, a workbook would provide a method for practicing the concepts, making them easier to use in families.

This workbook is used individually or in a group of participants. It is used interactively with the When Hurting Turns to Anger: How Parents Can Help Their Kids book. For each workbook chapter, parents will review the corresponding book chapter to refresh their memories and use it as a guide. The workbook contains exercises to complete, which will provide practice and reinforce the skill in parents' minds. Once completed, keep the workbook handy to refresh or review specific skills.
