SUPPAS I Choose to Calm My Anger: A Colorful, Picture Book About Anger Management And Managing Difficult Feelings and Emotions (Teacher and Therapist Toolbox: I Choose)

The author clearly indicates that the bullied child (who is rightly angry) should just say nothing while taking abuse.This is so very wrong when child psychologists indicate that the bullied child should stand up to the bully in an assertive but calm manner otherwise the bully will be empowered. It is inexcusable to give such wrong messages to kids in such an important topic (such as bullying) by someone who claims to be an expert in the field.

I thought this was a good introduction to anger, the emotion. But the suggestions on calming down are basic and in my son's experience, not effective. When he was in the middle of a meltdown and I suggested he revisit the book, he yelled saying the strategies don't work for him. I think offering a more in depth selection of anger management ideas would make this a 5 star book.

Introduces some calming tactics which can come in very handy for young children working with big emotions. Also I love that it's not dismissive of feeling anger but instead shows a way to work through.

This book offers wonderful strategies for children (and adults!) to remain calm when frustrated. We just purchased ‘I choose to speak up’ from this series and it is also a terrific resource!

My son is ADHD and mild Autism. He is an advance reader but still loves and gets a lot out of these books. It helps him feel he is not alone and how he can work through things. This goes for these, lines of books.
