description: A dANGERous Choice?...is a two-part book on anger control. The first part is a guide for adults - parents, teachers, mentors, social workers,psychologists,and psychiatrists. The second part is an illustrated, fictional story presented to kids, kindergarten through middle school, so they can learn the six basic steps of anger control through the eyes of two boys who, themselves, are in the process of dealing with anger problems. The adult portion presents examples of each anger control step and a variety of questions, activities, and techniques from which adults may choose, so they can individualize the anger control process for each child. Background information on anger and dealing with an angry child, and recommended sources to use with all age and ability levels, K-12, are also included. This is a user-friendly book that any adult can pick up and use with a minimum amount of preparation. The Kid's Story is designed so that any interested child can read the story and be able to use the six steps of anger control on his own,if necessary. Repetition is built into the story for this very reason. In an extensive review of materials available on anger control, I found nothing like this on the market. I wrote this book, because as a teacher I was frustrated that my students at a county juvenile detention center/jail school were getting younger every year; and materials in this field, especially for the young, were scarce.
