Danger! Anger - ebook

Danger! Anger

This book is for you if:

• you have yet again snapped at your child or partner;
• you have a hard time handling your child's difficult emotions;
• you feel guilty about your angry outbursts;
• you want to know how to deal with anger in your family.

Anger erupts like a volcano. It often leads to pain, embarrassment and sense of guilt. At the same time, trying to avoid or deny it turns out to be ineffective, if not destructive.

Convinced that anger and parenthood are inextricably linked, the author unravels the roots of anger and explains why we, as parents, experience so much of it and why it is an integral part of a child's development. She shows that it is possible to live with anger as it doesn't have to be either hurtful or damaging and may help us to understand our children and ourselves better.

Incredibly liberating and spot-on, this book is a must-read. It proves that a life completely free of anger is not only impossible but also not worth striving for. What is possible, however, is to understand anger.
