A někteří vypadají, jako by vůbec nebyli schopni svou zuřivost zvládat. Když má dítě vztek, jeho mozek a tělo reagují takhle: V hlavě se mu honí strašné věci. Chce křičet, ječet nebo řvát. Vycení zuby. Stáhne se mu žaludek. Má chuť kopat nebo dupat. Proč potřebuje tuto knihu?

Nejde o to nepříjemné emoce potlačovat, ale najít cestu, jak se s nimi vypořádat a přitom neublížit ostatním.
