For Parents and Those Who Work with Children

Understanding and Teaching the Angry Child (video) by Ann Shorb

The Heart of Anger: Practical Help for the Prevention and Cure of Anger in Children By Lou Priolo / Calvary Press Do you have an angry child? Do you know someone who does? In today's age of rage, it's critical that you recognize and address this concern before a child becomes habitually motivated by hostility. Priolo, an experienced counselor, offers practical, biblically based help for correcting or preventing the development of unhealthy external behavior.

The Heart of Anger Workbook By Calvary Press This is the companion workbook to one of the most important Christian books every published: The Heart of Anger. The book itself started a revolution in the realm of Christian counseling. Rather than dealing with simply behavior patterns, it went right to the "heart" of the matter: the inner workings of our motives and behavior in the light of God's word. It examined not just how to control anger in children, but why children are angry and, moreover, how adults at times contribute to that anger. In doing so, it also addressed the anger found in adult behavior that is passed on to children. This long-awaited workbook acts as a resource to get you to think through these issues in conjunction with the book. If you've never read the book, order a copy now! If you have the book, the workbook is a must, and makes for an excellent small group Bible study!
