Editorial Reviews

Review

"Every Boy Should Have One. Probably the best educational book I have purchased from Amazon so far. Teaches boys not to get upset in certain scenarios. Quick and fun read. Kids love it. Breeds independence. Should be in every little boys' library." - Amazon Review by The_Mad_Hatter
"We love it. It is fun to read together. I bought this book for my boys aged 5 & 7 because I thought it might help them with some of the emotional challenges they face day to day. We love it. It is fun to read together, makes them laugh and think and it has been a great conversation starter when we encounter situations where they don't know what to do. My 5 year old uses the mantra daily, saying, "I can handle it, mommy". I have since bought 3 more copies for friends and have recommended it to several others. A great book." - Amazon customer

Good for learning to handle frustrations
I like this book and the way it offers suggestions on how to handle frustrating situations. I boutht it for my almost 3 year old, but I think it would be better suited for a bit older, maybe 5-8. My bad though, not theirs. Also, some of the suggestions are a bit meh (I could cry myself to sleep or stay in my room until I'm 80). But overall it's a helpful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for an anxious child
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2018

I bought this for my 6-year-old who is easily overwhelmed and frustrated and I think this book is fantastic. It's a fun way to look at different scenarios where they may get upset or sad or angry, etc. and things they can do to handle it. At the end it has them say or write in their own name on a page that says, "My name is ________ and I can handle anything." My girls love saying this at the end of the book. They also loved telling me if the solutions he has to the problems in the book are silly or serious. I would highly recommend this if your child is easily frustrated. I read comments from a couple people about this book possibly being a trigger for kids who have experienced trauma, but this doesn't discuss anything traumatic like losing a loved one or being hurt. It's just normal, everyday, kid stuff that can overwhelm some. Now when my daughter gets frustrated, I can ask her if she can handle it and we think of ways to deal with the situation without throwing a fit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2018

This book is wonderful! It's perfect for children who have intense emotional reactions to problems. I love the phrase "I can handle it" as a mantra to encourage kids to think about their options before reacting. The author uses humor and playfulness to address the catastrophic thinking of some children ("I could stay in my bed till I'm 80") before giving some more realistic options. I've seen other reviews about this book where parents are upset about the phrase "I could cry myself to sleep". Well the fact is, that is an option. However, it's one of several options and this book gives parents a chance to talk about that (sometimes having a good cry makes us feel better, however crying all night probably doesn't make our bodies feel good, what are some other good options for how to solve our problem or for what we need in that moment). I regularly recommend this book to the families I work with. The illustrations and simple concepts appeal to kids of a wide age-range (4-10).

4.0 out of 5 stars Ultimately helpful for our autistic son, despite some inconsistent content
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2018
Verified Purchase
My 6 year-old son has high-functioning autism, and one of his biggest hurdles is handling negative emotions. I bought this book on a whim, hoping it would be appropriate for him in particular, and it came at a good time because he happened to hit someone at school for the first time that week. This is not a book he wants to read all the time - he's pretty astute and knows it's a book that is meant to be a teaching tool, but he does ask for it from time to time. At the end of the book there is a section for your child to write their name: "My name is ____, and I can handle ANYTHING." My son has a little trouble accepting this statement, and says "Nobody can handle EVERYTHING, Mommy." To be fair, he is right. I know most kids will not require such psychological accuracy from their books though, so it's probably just my kid that rejects this particular part of the lesson, but I'm just putting it out there that for him, this raises a little anxiety.

To echo a few other parents, it is a little strange that the "formula" of the pages don't always make sense, i.e. it presents a problem ("I'm frustrated when adults don't listen. Can I handle it?") then it offers three possible solutions followed by the mantra (in this case: "I can say excuse me. I can write a letter. I can tell someone else. I can handle it."). This is fine, but after establishing this formula, a few of the "solutions" are obviously not what a child should or would do, like "move away from her (from home)" in response to "I'm mad when my sister won't stop bugging me", or "I guess I can cry myself to sleep" in response to "I'm miserable when it's bedtime". We got around this by making it a game - after each of these out-of-character "solutions" we'd raise an eyebrow and say, "Hmmmm...is THAT a good option?", making it sound as though obviously it wasn't, and he'd smile and say NO. But I'm not sure you should have to do that, especially with a child that has more trouble catching on to the fact that some of these buck the established formula. I read a few reviews complaining about this and thought, oh that's silly, but it really is a little strange because it isn't consistent. If there was one silly option in EACH scenario that would make more sense. Still, the benefits have outweighed the weird, so I'm still glad we bought it.

I deducted one star for this and because the quality of the book doesn't really justify its price. It has pretty flimsy binding with cheap paper, like a children's book you might find in a bin in the middle of the supermarket, and really worth only about $5.

This book is awesome for parents to read with their kids and has potential for more stories like it! It’s best read slowly and with discussion in between each situation because there is so much that can come from each one. The little boy thinks up different ways to “handle” a variety of emotions and situations, some over the top which can cause a giggle if the child gets that it’s a silly possibility. almost 5-yr old daughter immediately put the “I can handle it” mantra to use as she dealt with grasshoppers that scared her on the way to school. And I catch her saying “I can handle it” now and then. :) I wish it didn’t say the was “miserable” going to bed as we already have a rough time with bedtime but it didn’t really seem to phase her. I hope the author will do another version of the book focused on 4-6 graders that talks about peer pressure and bigger decisions like saying no to alcohol, drugs, etc.
