How to Tantrum Like a Champion: Ten Small Ways to Temper Big Feelings

This book shows kids how to let off steam productively. Some of the soothing strategies may work well for grown-ups, too. The result? Improved mental health, equanimity, a better sense of perspective, and maybe even a laugh or two… . Books teaching kids to be champs are always welcome. This one goes a long way toward that goal.

Wolf’s soothing rhyming verse encourages kids to recognize changes in their body when they are getting upset… Morris’ dynamic and bright tissue-paper collages capture kids finding comfort by curling up in a “soft and safe” fort made out of sofa cushions and a blanket, or relaxing by mindfully meditating on the fluttering sights in a shaken snow globe. This helpful social-emotional-learning offering provides children with concrete ways to care for
themselves and manage overwhelming feelings.
