Tools for children and teens, and for those caring for them, to get through angry times.

The Anger Toolbox, with its friendly, honest style, uses evidence-based information and local New Zealand support contacts. It looks at what anger is, the effects it can have on us and the different strategies children, teens and adults can learn to manage it safely and well. It is written by Tricia Irving Hendry, John Taylor Smith and Jenny McIntosh, who have brought to it their backgrounds in parenting, grand-parenting, teaching, writing, school leadership, counselling, nursing, youth and community work. They have also consulted widely with specialists and researchers to develop this handbook.
