Needs some modifications! July 13, 2004
13 out of 19 found this review helpful

I bought this book for two preteen boys I provide skill/therapy sessions with. It was hard for them to understand some of the sarcastic humor in the book - however if this had been left out it would have been a great book for them. Ideal for a parent, or professional to spark conversation with children.

Help children get in control of their angry reactions June 25, 2004
43 out of 43 found this review helpful

Jerry Wilde, Ph.D., author of Hot Stuff to Help Kids Chill Out, proves to youth that it is their thoughts, beliefs, and ideas that make them angry, not their parents or teachers or family. This is good news. Because if other people and things made you angry, what would be the point of trying to learn to handle your anger? You would have no control. This is the basis of a branch of therapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dr. Wilde does an impressive job in this book of teaching adolescents how to use these skills all by themselves to solve their anger problems. I have used this in my practice of Child and Family Therapy with boys who were always getting into fights. They were quickly able to apply the concepts to identify rational vs. irrational thoughts, and learned that if they changed their thoughts, they could change their behavior. Other methods of anger management or problem-solving don't always work when a child is being provoked by a bully, but this method rarely lets you down. This amazing interactive workbook will really engage your child, and the author's sense of humor reaches out to young and old.

How this book helped my eight year old. October 25, 2001
121 out of 126 found this review helpful

My eight year old son has a pretty hot temper and was getting in trouble at school because of it. He was also having trouble making and keeping friends. Does this sound familiar? Read on. We liked this book because he could read it himself. It also has questions as you go through to help reinforce the different concepts and apply them to your own situation. It is amusing, I colud hear my son laughing as he was reading it and he would say Mom come and look at this, It's really funny. The book gives clear guidelines regarding how to 'Chill Out' which my son is beginning to use with VERY good effect. I would recommend this book to anyone with an angry child.

Hot Stuff to Help Kids Chill Out, The Anger Management Book July 14, 2001
70 out of 72 found this review helpful

I think this book is already helping my 11-year old son. Although I could not get him to read the book himself, he was willing to listen and interact as I read it to him. Because it is very focused and relatively short, this approach worked for us. The real breakthrough came in doing one of the distraction exercises recommended. -- My son was truly amazed as a smile played over his face and he said, It works, I can't stay mad. He still has a long way to go, but he has some new tools now to try to change his life.

This book is awesome. June 11, 2001

I bought this book for my son, he and I sat down and started reading it and laughed from the start. My son took a great interest in reading it and is normally pretty resistant to the subject in general. The authors approach is straightforward and humorus at the same time. It is hard work trying to change a difficult trait at a young age, but this book gives good advise in a way that young people can understand, relate, and open up too. Thanks!
