'Little Volcanoes is a comprehensive guide to techniques for helping professional workers and families to understand and manage the behaviour of young children. The sections on child development, and particularly on the development of attachment, will make it a useful resource for students and those undertaking further professional training; and the wide range of practical ideas and strategies will provide a powerful compendium of guidance for professionals working directly with parents -- therapists, teachers and practitioners in schools and early years settings, and those running support groups for parents and carers. I do not know of a book that covers the ground so thoroughly or in such a helpful way.'
-- Sally Featherstone, Early Years Consultant and Trainer

'There is a wealth of insight here regarding the causes of anger and associated behaviours and the ways in which these can be approached in a truly empathic and effective way. The exercises, tips and strategies (including the use of mindfulness techniques) are entirely practical, evidence-based and presented with passion, kindness and genuine understanding. … [T]his truly comprehensive and timely publication will certainly support teachers, parents, carers and young people in recognising, managing and embracing their anger – and the anger of others.'
--From the Foreword by Tina Rae, Educational Psychologist and Academic and Professional Tutor, University of East London, UK
