A simple and direct guide for parents

I'm not yet a parent, but I got this book since I have anger issues and I want to deal with them before having a child. This provided me with a better understanding of my anger issues and shared helpful ways that are actionable to address them. I'm glad I made the choice to listen to this audible and to become a better parent for my future child. It's simple and just what I needed.

Helpful and informative

I found this audiobook to be very helpful. I have read the kindle book as well but sometimes it is easier to listen to a book. I really enjoyed the narrator as they were not monotone and made a difficult topic to discuss; easy to listen to. The book is very helpful in understanding anger and your child’s behaviors. It is so important to be proactive rather than reactive when managing potential anger. If not managed properly anger can be taken out on your children and/or they can learn negative ways of dealing with their emotions by watching you. . There are so many great tips in this audiobook to help with this such as mindfulness, journaling, listening to music, and really taking care of yourself.

Being a Parent is not easy. Thankful this book!

I learned about mindfulness, strategies, and perspective that aren't really taught in school. Also, I want to be a present father in which spending time parenting might lead to anger if you don't have patience. Both direct and indirect anger are not good, keep your kids in mind, be an understanding person, and remember the time that you were a kid, this mindset helps me be a better parent.

must read for any parent

this is a definite must read for parents. the book provides a lot of great information.

help get your anger under control

This book gives great information to help parents learn how to manage their anger. The oration is very clear and I found their voice soothing. Their tone came across very patient and supportive. They guide you into understanding what triggers your anger so you can stop losing your temper. chapter 3 that speaks on how you can stop letting your emotions control you is great. The explanation of emotional regulation versus aggression is very eye-opening. I also like the idea of being proactive instead of reactive. Chapter 5 that reveals your child will mirror your energy is exceptional. They point out how sensitive children are and how they can pick up on stress and mirror your fear. Chapter 7 that discusses how you can be a step ahead of anger inducing situations especially with owning your emotions and investing time in your healing are priceless tips.

Worth the time even for non-parents

This book is specifically for parents who don’t want to take their anger (misdirected, excessive, or otherwise) out on their children. Who WOULDN’T want a crash course in that? I said it was worth the time even for non-parents because of the general applicability of the principles and practices the author lists, and because I think the specific parenting context of many of the examples is abstract enough that many readers who don’t have children (yet) will be able to get the point being made with enough relevance to make a personally applicable difference, but enough emotional distance to not resist the point being made.

I read (and became a fan of) Gary Chapman’s “Anger: Taming a Powerful Emotion” years ago, before meeting my future wife. I was not aware that by 2023 the sub-genre of anger management self-help books had become large enough to spawn decent-sized sub-sub-genres like anger management in the context of parenting. At the time of this review, I’m the father of a four-year-old and a 6th-month-old, and didn’t really feel any immediate read to read this book (which is NOT the same as claiming to have mastered this issue), but it hit my radar, there is plenty of parenting time remaining for it to become urgently relevant (and I’d rather be prepared BEFORE that happens), and that cover design just tugged at my heartstrings. I’m glad I picked it up. Bottom line: four hours well-spent on audiobook (excellent production quality throughout, by the way).

This is a book primarily about how to manage one’s OWN anger, not the anger of one’s child, and I think that is where the focus should be. Of course, children often internalize their methods of managing anger from the example of parents and siblings (or the experience of dealing with parents and siblings), so learning to manage one’s own anger in a healthy, constructive way has good spillover effects that way. Right off the bat, I appreciated that this wasn’t some unrealistic book about how to try to go through life in some perpetual state of serenity (which would have been off-putting in the extreme for a reader like me, because I regard that as unrealistic, and according to basic Christian theology, even the only perfect completely loving being in existence still experiences a great deal of anger on a routine basis when dealing with humanity). Vivian Foster’s affirmation of a healthy role for justified anger (handled and expressed constructively in a boundary-defending way à la Cloud and Townsend), coupled with her personal childhood experience, easily held my interest, and her detailed citations throughout the book to specific journal articles in the field of psychology (which I always appreciate), enhances this effect.

Anger Management for Parents

It is important to know how to show your child love in a way they understand, but also to be as kind and compassionate to yourself as you are to them. This was a excellent audible to learn about anger management for parents as I learn that my child will learn my bad habits when I am mad, so I need to be calm around my children so they will be calm. I highly recommend this audible.

Short but punchy resource for parents

I think most of the concepts are fairly common these days but this resource of gonna be an awesome tool for parents new to the concept of anger management and how they can apply that to their daily interactions with their kids. I don't know how others find this not worth the listen, coz on my end, it's exactly what I need especially that I'm busy and don't really have much time to listen to long-winded books. Finished the audio in one go while I'm working on house chores. Definitely had a lot of good stories that kept me entertained while also giving me snippets of aha moments that I wrote down on my journal. Great book.
