New
books
“The red beast: controlling anger in children with
Asperger’s Syndrome” by K.I. Al-Ghani is a new picture book which is designed
to help children understand and deal with rage.
In the introduction, the author notes that simply living through a
normal day is often fraught with anxiety and frustration for some children, and
that the uncontrollable outbursts of rage that can result from this often leave
the children suffering from low self-esteem.
He says “It is possible to enable the child to see that anger is like a
‘beast’ that needs to be tamed. Taming
the beast can be hugely satisfying and can lead to an increase in self-esteem,
not a decrease. By teaching techniques
to children when they are fully in control of their tempers, role playing these
visualisation techniques frequently, and then setting up a place where children
can be directed when the ‘beast’ awakens, it is possible to lessen the
frequency and ferocity of anger and give control back to the children.” The book is a simple picture book, but it is
a great tool to help children begin to ‘control the beast’.
The new 12th edition of “The Law Handbook” has
arrived. The Law Handbook is the plain
English guide to the law in NSW, providing access to law that affects people in
their everyday lives. This edition
contains 43 chapters written by over 80 lawyers and legal experts with the most
up-to-date information possible about the law in NSW. Every chapter contains a comprehensive list
of the organisations and websites that you need for further information or
help. To see what other books the
Library has, check out the Library catalogue at our new website http://www.northwesternlibrary.com.au
