A home for their hearts Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I'm having some anger issues with a couple of my dc. What are some good titles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Ross Campbell has one. I like his stuff. Check titles by Turansky, I trust his stuff, too. You'll get a recommendation for a Priori book; I am not a fan. All of the above are Christian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela H in Texas Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control by Heather Forbes. I love the paradigm which is so different. It really seems this *would* diffuse the anger, help the person deal with it, etc while still allowing for teaching-based discipline after the fact. It is written towards parents who have previously traumatized children (medical, foster care, orphanages, etc); but I honestly wish I had known about it with my biological son when he was little. I did well at GOOD (mostly non-punitive) discipline; but we would have benefited from this, especially regarding anger and self-esteem issues. There are three books in total. The first and second volumes are named as above. The third is Dare to Love. Understanding the whys is mostly in the first book. There are TONS of examples throughout the books, but esp the third. The more mainstream version is Consciously Parenting (website with same name). I have not looked at it much; but it is my understanding there would be a lot less talk about trauma and adoption in those materials.

grace'smom Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) sorry... i didn't connect that she meant the anger was an issue for the kids, not the parent. Edited October 18, 2011 by grace'smom mistake in reading the original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patches Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Another vote for "Heart of Anger" if you are a Christian. He really addresses the root problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
