Handling anger and tanrums

First off, remember these books are supplementary and the main focus is your modeling, the way you hold boundaries and the way you emotion coach your child. (Comment Boundaries for a video on this)

Hands are not for hitting series @martiagassi
This is perfect for young toddlers since it doesn't overwhelm with information or rules but clearly states what can or cannot be done eith our body. Simple scripts and redirection.

Anger from storm to calm @ammatoday @agan_adhigaram
An all in one emotional regulation playkit, this one takes us through what happens to Kavi when she is overtaken by anger and how her grandmother helps her regulate it. We learn to regulate ourselves as we move the tabs, open flaps, etc and also consider how anger can be our friend.

Ravi's Roar @tompercivalbooks
A lovely story about what happens to Ravi when he gets angry (hint- he turns into a tiger) and how it affects those around him. I prefer using this book for guided reading for preschoolers upwards as it is better used as a conversation starter.

Anh's anger @gailsilver1
One of my favourite books, this is a gentle look into Anh, his anger and how he moves from dysregulation to calm state by sitting with his anger. Slightly wordy, would recommend it for older children. 5+

The Boy, the troll snd the chalk @anneboothauthor
Another favourite, this is a beautiful take on what lies under our anger, and how we all just need someone to sit with in our anger.
We read this in book club last month. Did you catch the readaloud?

How many have you read out of these?

Comment Anger to receive the links to the books in your inbox.
One year since we sent this beautiful book baby ou One year since we sent this beautiful book baby out into the world.
One year of readalouds, sessions, going in for reprint.
But about 2 years of backend work.

But also, thousands of children feeling seen, and families opening up conversations on anger and regulation.

Someone asked me on AMA last week how I decided to write children's books. I think the answer is this- I just go ahead and write books I needed as a child.😅

Thankyou @vividsandpastels for bringing the story to life and @agan_adhigaram for publishing this baby with your beautiful vision.

Have you read Vendhu Thanindhadhu Kobam or Anger: From storm to calm yet?
What is your favourite page or part of the story?

➡️Faq about book club

- Book club is a subscription based readaloud program.
We meet once a week to read aloud, share and reflect on some special books. Each readaloud is approx 20 minutes long.
To join live, simply click on my profile picture on Tuesday at 8pm.

- The recordings are available for the whole month and found under the crown icon of my profile.

- Age guidelines- we currently have 3 years to 12 year olds to adults ;). Try for a month to see if your child enjoys it independently or with guidance and you can unsubscribe if you don't think it suits you.

- There is a monthwise channel as well. Please don't forget to join it as I share post reading resources on it. To join please check under messages-channels- invites.

As always Aug reads will be deleted by eod Sep 5th.

Only bookish love and bookish light here,
Vaishali
