Why a book on emotional first aid for parents? Because being a little kid is tough! With maturing, little kids experience an overwhelming amount of failure and rejection. Parents can minimize little kids' emotional damage caused by learning new skills and forming new relationships using emotional first-aid techniques.

The best news is that by using emotional first-aid strategies, little kids (and their parents) can avoid becoming angry. By listening to Avoiding Anger When Hurting, parents learn

• why hurting turns into anger,
• how to become a helping parent by using emotional first aid,
• how to assess a problem to determine which emotional first aid is needed,
• when to start the conversion,
• how to encourage little kids to talk,
• finding a quick solution, and
• getting little kids back into family activity.

In learning the six types of emotional first aid and how to use each, parents will be well-equipped to help their little kids handle emotional damage caused by failure and rejection. With no emotional hurt, little kids will not

• have angry outbursts,
• feel like failures, or
• feel unworthy.

In an easy-to-learn process, Dr. Anstine Templeton shows how to counteract the emotional damage caused by failure, rejection, and other emotional hurts.
