Anger in the Family

I just received this email:

I need some information on how to help my 8 year-old son control his anger.  For example, hen his friends were teasing him today about liking a girl he told them to stop but then just kicked the heck out of the lockers. Can you suggest a book to read to learn some new tools for him.

I am glad that he hit the lockers instead of his friends, clearly he has good judgement and control. The nature of anger is an important one, and I think all families that have to deal with anger, be it with the children or the parents, could benefit from reading Calming the Family Storm.
