This is one of those gems that nearly every preschool classroom we see has in the book corner, and yet many of us parents don't know of it. Teachers have clearly figured out that one of the most effective way to deal with a little one who can't yet help but take out his anger or frustration on the nearest somebody or something is to give him something else to do with his hands. Talking it out is great, but if your child isn't exactly ready for that (at least not in the heat of the moment), then maybe clapping it out or drawing it out or counting it out or waving it out is the way to go. Let this positive, encouraging book give you -- and much more importantly, your child -- some ideas, and then be prepare to feel like an insider when you see it work on the playground!
