The Angry Kid Playbook

It's 7am. Your child can't find their shoe. Now they're screaming. You said something you regret. You're both in the car in silence and you feel like the worst parent alive.

You're not doing it wrong. But explaining, threatening, and waiting it out aren't working — because when a child is flooded, the reasoning part of their brain goes offline. Logic can't land. What works is a completely different approach — and the exact words to use it.

This playbook gives you the anger type quiz to understand your child, the 3-phase framework for any meltdown, and 30+ word-for-word scripts for every situation — including what to do when you lose it too.

46 pages. Zero fluff. Open it at 9pm, use it by 9:05.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

🧠 The Anger Type Quiz — find out if your child is a Volcano, Slow Burn, Shutdown, or Redirector. Each type needs a completely different response.

🔥 The Anger Iceberg — what's really underneath the explosion (it's almost never anger)

⚡ The 3-Phase Meltdown Framework — exactly what to do in the first 2 minutes, the next 10, and after calm returns

💬 30+ word-for-word scripts — morning meltdowns, "I hate you," homework rage, sibling fights, public meltdowns, bedtime anger — broken down by age (3–5, 6–8, 9–12)

🆘 SOS: I Just Lost It — what to do in the next 20 minutes when you've already exploded

❤️ The Repair Script — the conversation that deepens the relationship instead of fraying it

📋 Printable Anger First Aid Kit — everything on one fridge page for when your brain goes blank at 7am

📅 Your 4-Week Action Plan — week by week, day by day. Because knowledge doesn't change behavior. Practice does.
