This blog is dedicated to drawing together information, resources and help for those in the counselling profession, who are caring for youth and those who are looking to find professional resources and are supporting young people through difficulties. The resources I discover and use successfully I will post here, including books, activities, exercises and theory. Items posted are at the discretion of the reader to use as they wish and not meant to replace professional counselling services.

When I Feel Angry by C Spelman
This book is quite simple in describing feelings of anger, aimed at younger readers. It delineates the feelings from the action of anger. I appreciated the way the rabbit is put in numerous situations that are true to life for children from being teased about sinky feet, to disappointment. "Anger is a strong hot feeling." Giving options to children in order to avert choices made in the moment of the feeling is the solution to these strong hot feelings. A solution focused story like this helps children feel a mastery in areas where there may be a breakdown of feeling in charge and responsible. Great book.
