Frequently asked questions

Who is The Kids' Anger Lab for?

It is a guide for parents and caregivers who are struggling with a child's anger, designed to be used together with the child. A reading age is not stated, so the adult leads and adapts it to the child.

How do I talk to my child about their anger?

Choose a calm moment, not the middle of an outburst. Describe what you see without blame, make clear that anger is a normal feeling, and focus on what your child can do differently next time. The book includes sample scripts to help you start these conversations.

How is The Kids' Anger Lab different from Benny Controls His Anger?

Benny Controls His Anger is a story about a lion cub who learns to control his anger with his parents' help. The Kids' Anger Lab is a practical guide built around a four-step plan, with an explanation of the anger response, sample scripts, and strategies for the whole family.

When a book is not enough

If your child's anger continues for weeks, is getting more intense, leads to someone getting hurt, or disrupts school and family life, it is worth consulting a child psychologist or your pediatrician. Read more about Dr. Kushnir and his online clinics.
