Children's Anger

Children's Emotions

Abstract

Hattie lives by herself on an island. Lots of people try to bring kindness to Hattie, but each time she is very horrid to them, smashing and spoiling everything they try to do for her. So after a while they all stop trying and Hattie is very alone. With the help of the lapping water-over-her-toes, Hattie understands that because she'd been a very sad and frightened little girl in a too hard world, she had become hard too, so that the awful fear and the awful pain would go away. The guidebook is to help children who: hurt, hit, bite, smash, kick, shout, scream or who are out of control, hyperaroused or hyperactive; can only discharge their angry feelings in verbal or physical attacks, rather than being able to think about and reflect on what they feel; are angry because it is easier than feeling hurt or sad are locked in anger or rage because of sibling rivalry; are controlling and punitive; regularly defy authority or are diagnosed with a conduct disorder; commit cold acts of cruelty, hurt animals or do not cry any more; spoil, damage or destroy what others do or make create fear in others because they have locked away their own fears.

Defining the true meaning of the d-word (to instruct, not to shout or reprimand), the authors explain how to reach your child, redirect emotions, and turn a meltdown into an opportunity for growth.

? strategies that help parents identify their own discipline philosophy?and master the best methods to communicate the lessons they are trying to impart

? facts on child brain development?and what kind of discipline is most appropriate and constructive at all ages and stages

? the way to calmly and lovingly connect with a child?no matter how extreme the behavior?while still setting clear and consistent limits

? tips for navigating your child through a tantrum to achieve insight, empathy, and repair

? twenty discipline mistakes even the best parents make?and how to stay focused on the principles of whole-brain parenting and discipline techniques.

Death and Dying

Abstract

A beautiful and gentle look at the circle of life, using Christine Pym's gorgeous animals characters to explore the emotions and facts around death, with questions such as Is it ok to talk about dying? What happens when someone dies? Can I shout and cry and hide away? and How can I stop feeling sad? The latest in the wonderful First Questions and Answers series, this title covers an extremely tricky topic in a friendly and approachable way. Uses animal characters in the same way as First Q&A: What are feelings? Fills a very important gap in the market, helping parents and carers to find the words to explain death and dying to young children.
