When Hurting Turns to Anger: Helping Students

For teachers who struggle daily with trying to teach kids with anger issues, When Hurting Turns to Anger: Helping Students is the book for you.

Dr. Anstine Templeton’s mentor Dr. Nick Long taught his graduate students that forewarned is forearmed. That is what using the anger reducing techniques (ART) shared in When Hurting Turns to Anger does for educators, administrators, counselors, and school personnel-it forearms adults from becoming reactive to students’ anger.

What is ART? It is a seven-step process that helps students talk about their anger and learn ways to handle strong emotions effectively, before they reach the crisis stage. Therefore, ART can be used with any students, in any school. The theory is students can learn skills to handle their anger productively in school rather than becoming overwhelmed, losing control, and cycling into crises.

Using anger reducing techniques educators learn to control their own anger, look beyond the students’ inappropriate behaviors, calm out of control students, get students to talk about their problems, show students how to create plans of success, teach students how to make amends for misbehavior, and hold students accountable for following their success plans.

Internalizing the anger reducing techniques, students learn that kids have a right to learn, kids may not take learning away from others, it’s okay to feel angry, it’s not okay to act out anger inappropriately, there are many ways to productively deal with anger, teachers can teach how to problem solve, it’s a must to have a plan of success, kids must make amends for any hurt they have caused, and they will be held responsible for following their success plans.

In an easy to learn process, Rosalyn Anstine Templeton shows how to master anger that frees teachers to teach students self-control, how to use anger effectively to succeed, and ways to make amends.

What Teachers are Saying

Very well written and takes in so many different ways to assist parents and teachers alike with handling anger issues in children. My own experience from childhood anger issues came from young children dealing with parents with anger issues. I always say, “Kids learn what they live.” If they see their parents displaying anger issues then they inherit these issues. Too bad we didn’t have this book available in the 1950’s. It would have benefited police being called to homes of violence, too. I highly recommend this book to parents and teachers alike.

This book was informative and in the parenting style that I was looking for. This book happened to be more guided toward teachers (I plan to homeschool in the future), so I highly recommend it for any school parents and teachers to read. It wasn’t just about staying calm; it had real-life examples, cartoons, and questions with thought-out responses, which made it easy to understand.

This author writes so that anyone can understand the ART principles including teachers, administrators, and parents. She has both education and classroom experience, which means she has walked the walk. This book would be valuable for any adult who has to deal with children and adult anger in the classroom, home, or even in the workplace. This easy to read book is full of useful information. I never learned as a child how to deal with anger, so teachers and parents that can instill these easy to understand principles will be promoting more successful adults.
The techniques developed in this book could apply to anyone and are useful even if you are not interacting with children on a day-to-day basis. One of the few books that I have referenced over and over.
Terrific book! It is an easy read to learn how to communicate with our children so that they can grow up as mature, self-secure, independent people. I highly recommend it to all parents.
