Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
If children don't learn how to handle negative emotions, their pattern of reaction may lead to violence in later years. This new book provides a gentle way parents and educators can intervene now before violence starts. Addressed directly to children aged six to ten, the book validates the negative emotion they're feeling, then offers a concrete way to redirect the energy into positive action. The approach helps children recognize that negative emotion is normal and that they have the power to make themselves feel good. Neither condescending nor judgmental, the book helps children deal with anger, fear, frustration, prejudice, attention-seeking, delayed gratification, self-esteem, sadness, and more. For each emotion or situation there are suggested activities, thoughts, and positive statements. These engage all five senses to help the child more easily learn new behavior. Appropriate for use by individuals or in a group setting, Taming Monster Moments is must reading for parents, grandparents, and educators, as well as pediatricians, child psychologists, and counselors. It's an excellent title for any organization or institution that deals with children, including parenting groups, nursery- and after-school centers, churches and synagogues, school and public libraries, and child advocate groups.

Taming Monster Moments is a cute book of so-called "meditations," which come across like unrhymed poetry. They are nice and fun for the most part, although the repeated references to monsters will be scary for some children. Other children will find the entries interesting, but the intended messages are at times rather abstract for young children. While the book is listed as appropriate for children ages 4 to 8, I did not find it useful for my five year old.
