The Book

I write this site and I wrote this book. Saying so here, and on every page that mentions it, is deliberate.

Who each one is for

The site is written for you, the adult, and mostly for the adult in the middle of something.

The book is written for the teenager, to be read alone, without a parent in the room. That is the actual difference and it is most of why both exist. There are things a fifteen year old will take from a book that they will not take from you at that moment, not because you are wrong but because it is you saying it.

Anger Management for Teens

Fifty short chapters. It is built around one named system for the ten seconds before something goes wrong, rather than fifty separate techniques, because fifty named techniques is functionally the same as none.

It covers walking away from a fight, arguments at home, group chat conflict, and staying out of trouble at school. The consequence side gets real weight, because that is the part most books on this shelf skip and it is the part a teenager actually cares about.

What it is not

It is not a premium version of this site and nothing here is a teaser. Every page on this site answers its own question completely, and if you never buy anything the site still has to earn the visit.

It is not treatment, and it does not pretend to be. If your teenager needs an assessment, a book is not a substitute for one, and the page on that is written to help you work out which situation you are in.

What I will not do with it

No review or rating markup on my own book anywhere on this site. No page that answers half a question and points at the book for the rest. Never on a page carrying crisis resources.

If any of that stops being true, this page is wrong and I would want to hear about it.
