bulletBefore It's Too Late: Why Some Kids Get into Trouble-And What Parents Can Do About It. By Stanton E. Samenow
Samenow's approach differs from traditional approaches in that he takes a strong stand that individuals are responsible for their own misbehavior. He views "blaming others" as an error in thinking that enables kids to continue acting out and getting into trouble.
His focus on individual responsibility rather than finding "the cause" is refreshing.
Practical advise and solutions are offered for parents.

bullet Toestomper and the Caterpillars By Sharleen Collicott
While this book is for the 4-8 year old group, I have found some older children enjoy it also. The ruffian, Toestomper, discovers his nurturing side and calls his “rude and disgusting” friends to task when the caterpillars enter his life.  Readers enjoy the animals’ transformation from rude and angry to caring and nurturing.

ANGER: The Misunderstood Emotion  by Carol Tavris  
 Carol Tavris writes a book that confronts the complexity of the emotion called “anger.”  The author examines various approaches to anger management and the reasons some of the techniques do not work.  With a variety of examples, Ms. Tavris enlightens the reader about the emotion itself and the means to deal with it effectively.  Her work offers us the opportunity to try new interactions in our relationships, even before we reach the end of the book.  This book presents us with a look at our own anger management techniques so that we may model healthy anger management for our children.
