Angry Parent Angry Child: Anger Management Strategies to Stop Yelling, Keep Your Cool and Become a Peaceful Family

This book has been wonderful! The first sections provide wonderful insight into the WHY behind our anger and frustration and good reminders to think about how our children are feeling and why they are also feeling frustrated and angry and acting out (because, let's be honest, we are acting out, too 😅). I'm still working my way through the last bit about how exactly to go about changing my behavior and being a good example for my kiddo instead of inadvertently teaching her to be angry and fight, but I'm gratefully taking the help piece by piece and trying to be consistent in implementation. It's definitely a section I will continue to refer back to, over and over again. My advice to you? Don't just rent it! Buy it! You need this book on hand, not just to read it as a one-and-done, but as a handy guide to keep in your pocket for those times you notice you are slipping back into being an angry parent!

I would definitely recommend reading this book if you just want a new perspective on what you can do to change your reaction to your children’s actions. A few things I did try that I never thought about trying worked with my son. He has strong emotions so I always have to consider that when I get flustered or upset. This book hit home for the struggling parent who just wants to get closer to their little one. It gives you strategies to work on your emotions to a negative situation.I found the author relatable right off the back when I started reading, in that we all struggle in the beginning if we were excited for this new journey or not. Personally I never planned my pregnancy because I planned on NOT having kids. However this book hit home nicely on some tips I got from zoom parenting classes I’ve done over the past few years that have helped me excel as a parent. Would do well for parents who can’t do classes like I have.👍🏼 👍🏼 Or ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am so excited to share thebinformationnis gleened from this amazingly book. The format od the book helps you to understand your own emotions first. Then it goes on to show how we sometimes get angry at our kids because of our own personal emotions and past issues. I appreciate the reminder that kids need our lovw, especially when they dont show they deserve it. They are simply acting their age and we need to love the anger away. If we all handled life the way this book helps us to see, there would be world peace and so many more functional adults. I recommend this book because it is down to earth and truth telling, making us all relate to real life. If you are looking for anything to improve your parenting, i do think you will find this book very useful. I hope parents around the world can make it more known that we can always improve our life and our parenting skills.

This book really helped me to understand why I was an angry parent and gave me ways to reduce my anger and in turn be able to enjoy my child and enjoy being a mother. I’m a single mom so I’m constantly stressed and the 3 year old tantrums and constant need for control has been a battle. I’m now able to understand my child’s behavior and not allow it to get me angry and it has helped myself and my son be happier than we were before. I reread the book here and there to review and to remind myself of strategies to being a happier parent.

I have been on my positive parenting journey for going on 2 years now but learning strategies at a slower pace due to my situation of being a SAHM of four with no family support and with the other parent being the family’s financial source full time that left one very stressed out mom who loves her children dearly but stuck in negative patterns due to the mental, emotional, and sometimes physical overload of raising babies alone. I’ve read other parenting books, took positive parenting classes and trainings but sometimes things doesn’t click right away. I found through this easy to read book where she breaks things down into examples, it helped me to better grasp the concept of natural consequences which I’ve been unsure about. She comes from a place of understanding being a mother herself and gives some really great tools to use for other parents to use with their kids.

I absolutely loved reading this book! As a parent educator, I spend a large part of my teachings on this subject. I am now going to add this book to my suggested reads for all parents that I work with. My father-in-law actually started to read this book while he was at my house and in the middle of it he started tearing up because he recognized flaws that he had and he wishes he could redo after reading this book. Guaranteed to help!!

Great book! Easy to follow and some great tips that I would not have thought of!!My son does not respond well and almost acts worse with yelling and this book gave me some great tips and they have really worked! And my anxiety level is so much less because I am not stressed out from yelling all the time!I noticed my son really began to have some anger issues because of me yelling and he would mimic me when he would get angry. So this book is very true angry parent is an angry child and I want to change that for my children.Great book! Highly recommend!

I don't feel judged while readingShe seems to truly understand the guilt a parent puts on themselves and how to work on solving itA straight forward read

The book is a great introduction on coaxing someone to be willing to take a breath and want to do better. I believe using the book to be able to admit you want to be better and create a base in understanding how and why is a great tool.It is not a fix all book, scientific approach, or magic fix all delivering promises it can't keep. But it is very relatable and informative, and that is the best way to have isolated parents feel like maybe they can change for the better.For me, I have acknowledged the base of my anger is more of a mental health than it is a behaviour issue, but it is nice to be able to look at this and apply it now that I have some medication helping me at my root, too. My medication (for adhd and sleep) make it easier to really remember that my kid is an experience and I am her mentor and I'm guiding her, rather than her boss to discipline her. The how's and why's in this book help me remember just how innocent she is, and not how troublesome she can feel.If you're looking for a great, relatable starting point, you'd do well starting here and branching off from it without feeling guilty or overwhelmed about what you're going through.

I'm a few chapters in. Talks about self care and some helpful resources. I find this helpful thus far. Wanted to read it do to being a good gentle parent and than snap. 0 to 100. So much patience all day long with toddler or even days and than I do something I regret. I always apologize but I want to learn what I need to do to be better.My child is by no means angry though but I want to nip it in the but before she adapts to snapping. Or models it.Just want to he better than what I had growing up so holding myself accountable and reading this book.Another book by author I'm going to read I think as well as writing exactly about topics I need tweaking with.

Love this book! It’s an easy to read book that is very relatable. I found myself connecting to several examples and situations presented in the book. This read has helped me reflect on becoming a better parent. Even if you think you aren’t an angry parent, it’s a nice read to help remind you how to stay calm and collected when in a stressful parenting situation. Every stage of parenting is different and patience will be tested. Do yourself a favour and read this book to help ground yourself. I think it’s nice to have in your parent tool box to be able to pick up and read anytime through your parenting journey.

I haven't been able to read the whole thing yet with a 10 month old at home, but what i have read has been really insightful thus far. It's well written, comes off as a conversation with another parent and is 100% relatable. It offers great solutions for regulating emotions, which i believe will be helpful for both myself and dealing with my strong willed, sassy 3.5 year old.I will update once I've read the whole thing, but so far it's really great!

This book is amazing, as a mom of 6 kids I have received a lot of parenting advice over the years. This book trumps it all, it is well written and very down to earth, just like having a conversation with a dear friend. There is no judgment, just love and very caring advice. I found this book a great read, and very relatable. I had many breakthroughs and ideas to help my parenting. A treasured author in my life. Thank you for writing this.
