Your Angry Child : A Guide for Parents
Daniel L. Davis, PhD
Psychologist, David J. Tennenbaum and Associates, Columbus, Ohio
Discover an important source of practical and understandable advice for parents of
children with anger management issues!
Your Angry Child: A Guide for Parents was created to provide parents of angry children and
teenagers with an up-to-date understanding of the “whys” and “hows” of
anger problems. You’ll find specific, focused ways of helping angry children and
managing the difficulties that anger causes—some brand new, some time-tested. Written
by a psychologist with over 30 years of experience treating troubled and severely
behaviorally disordered youth and 20 years experience as a forensic psychologist, this
book provides practical and understandable advice that parents can make use of
immediately.
This insightful book presents up-to-date case histories, current research, and practical,
down-to-earth techniques that can help parents of children and adolescents with anger
problems. Extraordinarily useful for parents, this book is also an ideal adjunct to
counseling and psychotherapy and an essential reference for teachers, pediatricians and
family practice physicians, students of psychology, corrections officers, and others who
work with angry/violent youth. The first chapters of Your Angry Child: A Guide for Parents
provide a thoughtful introduction to child development concepts and the development of
anger, examining how hostility and aggression impact the family and illustrating the
effects of resistance and oppositional behavior. Next, the book focuses specifically on
practical aspects of anger management, including:
attachment issues
antisocial behavior
anger’s impact on temperament, development, moral reasoning, and the thinking process
in general
indicators of anger problems, such as temper tantrums, cruelty to animals, and fire
setting
the effect of the media on violent tendencies in children
ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, and other conduct disorders
mood disorders, including suicidal feelings and depression
links between anger and substance abuse
problem solving
the power of strong values and positive role models for angry youth
and much more!
With chapters specifically devoted to the anger problems of children and pre-teenagers as
well as advice directed toward parents of angry adolescents, Your Angry Child: A Guide for
Parents is an ideal resource for helping professionals and the parents who come to them in
varying degrees of desperation. Make this vital book a part of your therapeutic arsenal
