Helping Angry Kids Heal

A Parent's Guide to Understanding, Connecting, and Calming Big Emotions

By: Dr Richard L Travis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Anger is a message. Are you ready to hear what your child is really trying to say?
Whether it shows up as yelling, shutting down, eye-rolling, or refusal to engage, anger in teens and pre-teens is more than just a behavior problem—it's a form of communication. And behind it is often a child who feels overwhelmed, misunderstood, or powerless.
In this compassionate and practical guide, psychologist Dr. Richard L. Travis helps parents move beyond punishment and power struggles to understand the root of their child’s anger. With real-life examples, updated research, and easy-to-apply tools, you'll learn how to respond with calm, set respectful boundaries, and build emotional resilience—in your child and in yourself.
This book is for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who wants to break the cycle of reactive parenting and raise emotionally healthy kids who know how to manage their big feelings without shutting down or blowing up.
You don’t have to be perfect. You just must be present.
Let this guide show you how.
