Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
The revised and updated version of this helpful handbook was written by a clinical psychologist and author of other books for young people. Aimed at middle school students but useful for other ages, too, the book begins by defining stress in our lives and its importance to survival. Short and long term stress is explained, and coping strategies for managing these stresses are emphasized. The author explains that reactions to stress, or one's ability to handle it, as normal to all humans. He uses the analogy of taming stress to taming the invisible tigers in our life. He offers ten tiger-taming techniques such as eating healthy, staying active, being assertive, taking charge by setting goals, and so on. Each technique is accompanied by exercises to help make the techniques a habit. It is helpful advice no matter what your age and assists in turning worry into positive action. It is well written and the layout will appeal to young readers. Cartoonlike drawings, lists, and how-to directions are included. Reviewer: Meredith Kiger, Ph.D.
