Using MAD

"I absolutely love your book, MAD: How to Deal with Your Anger and Get Respect. I am an emotional support teacher and I just started using your book this school year. I have one particular group of students in the 7th and 8th graders who are particularly angry at everyone for everything! The book has been very insightful so far and I know that it will continue to be throughout the year." —Jessica Dobson, Emotional and Behavioral Supports, Ligonier Valley School District

"We did the Expressing Anger: Healthy Ways vs. Not-So-Healthy Ways reading and many ofthe students opened up about how they deal with anger. The more intriguing topic was Swearing and Saying Mean Things, which was a very real topic for them and we were able to talk about it as adults." —Stefanie Cervantes Moore, Service Learning Assistant Coordinator, Floresville High School, Floresville, Texas
