Description: This book empowers parents, educators, and counselors to prevent youth violence by teaching the thinking skills necessary for children and teens to deal with anger and frustration in healthy, productive ways. A longtime psychologist and counselor, as well as a parent and past teacher, Jones-Smith offers research and vignettes to recognize the growing problem of violence in youth, understand its causes, and help adults closest to children know techniques to nurture nonviolence as a way of life. This volume offers practical information like why a child may try to harm another and what to do when a child is angry. And, it also offers tips for parents, teachers, and counselors, including teaching children impulse control and anger management, teaching natural consequences, and instilling empathy, the antidote to violence. No other book addresses how parents, teachers, and counselors can, working together or separately, teach and instill an understanding of the self-control with thinking skills needed for children to handle conflict productively.
