I bought some books from Scholastic that were about controller anger issues. It was a 3 pack. I though this could be a start to talking about his anger.
I like 1 out of 3 books.
Here is how one went...
Mad, mad, mad!
Nicholas took veronica. (From pics you can see a baby took his sisters doll)
He sucked her hair.
Yech!
Veronica (the doll) hates baby spit.
I hate baby spit, (sister telling story)
I hate Nicholas!
Uh-oh.
Veronica got a time out.
Uh-oh.
Me, too.
We have to think and be sorry.
But, we don't think we are sorry.
We think we still hate Nicholas.
Veronica thinks that Nicholas should disappear.
Me, too.
Ta-da!
No more Nicholas. (she puts a blanket on her brother.)
Uh-oh.
No more Nicholas?
But sometimes Nicholas is silly.
Veronica likes that.
Me, too.
Nicholas smells nice after a bath.
Veronica likes that.
Me, too.
And he gives good hugs...for a little brother.
Veronica likes that, too.
Veronica thinks she needs to think some more.
Me, too.
Veronica thinks she doesn't really hate baby spit. OR Nicholas.
I think Veronica is sorry.
Me, too.
I think. (As brother pulls doll from sisters and sucks on her hand).
SO...remember the red bold big letters are from the book, not my addition.
I have a problem with this book, a big problem.
Yet I understand why some may not.
Hate is an emotion we all deal with, a word we say about stuff, but not usually people.
My son has been using this word a lot, and I don't tolerate it.
He tells me he hates me when he is angry.
It hurts even though he doesn't mean it and is angry when he uses it.
Why would I want to read this word to my kid, even if it isn't something he says?
I understand anger is an emotion, but there should be NO reason to use the word hate to help a kid understand how to control his anger.
I am so upset at this book.
I will be calling scholastic, since another out of the three told about a boy who was packing up his stuff to run away (why would I want my kid to know that is an option at the age of 4???)
This book is a series that E loves and we read a lot of, I was very disappointed.
The other book was perfect and exactly what I was looking for!
What are your views about the book I shared???
NO, that book is ridiculous, Yes, I'd read that to my kid.
