Hot Stones and Funny Bones: Teens Helping Teens Cope with Stress and Anger

by Brian Seaward, Linda Bartlett

This book is a must-read for teenagers and for their parents and teachers! Teens' voices are heard as they are - unedited, uninterpreted. And what they have to say is more profound and more interesting than you would think! I also love the art and the poetry - it can speak louder than words. The author's information is real and down-to-earth and truly helpful. And the book is not just anecdotes and theory, but it also contains exercises so that it can be used as a workbook (also great for adults dealing with stress and anger!). Easy to read and very worth-it!

Healthy Anger: How to Help Children and Teens Manage Their Anger 
by Bernard Golden

The author draws upon more than twenty years of experience as a psychologist and teacher to offer specific, practical strategies for helping children and teens manage their anger constructively. Golden has developed a set of skills that parents, teachers, and counselors
can use to show children how to identify the causes of anger; how to respond to it in ways that lead to an internal sense of competence and self-control; how to use anger to understand their own emotional situation; and how to develop a greater capacity for empathy towards themselves and others. He shows parents how to cope with outbursts--including clear, step-by-step instructions and problem-solving skills--how to derail escalating anger, reward good behaviors, and recognize when professional help is needed. For anyone who has ever helplessly confronted a child's rage or a teenager's defiant fury, Healthy Anger offers a wealth of wise insight, clear advice, and eminently practical strategies for turning anger into understanding.

The Worried Child: Recognizing Anxiety in Children and Helping Them Heal.

By Paul Foxman

This is a caring yet straightforward book about helping kids deal with feelings of angst. One in five children suffers from a mental health problem, Foxman says some experts call today's children the "shell-shocked" generation. Divorce, crime, violence, failing schools, the threat of terrorism and drug abuse are a few of the contemporary issues often magnified for kids by vivid media coverage, and they've contributed to the rise of stress and anxiety among children, says Foxman. The author, who suffered from anxiety as a child and as an adult, melds personal and professional experience as he differentiates between normal and abnormal worrying.
