Editorial Reviews
Praise for Zach Gets Frustrated
“A handy resource for any parent who has a child that gets frustrated easily.”—Lori Calabrese, children’s book reviewer
“This is such a helpful resource to the students in my school. Zach Gets Frustrated teaches children frustration doesn’t need to ruin their day and it can even be channeled into something positive if they take the time to understand it. The frustration triangle technique is a new discovery for me and it’s definitely going to have an impact.”—Roxanne Davidson, M.Ed., school counselor, Books That Heal Kids blog

“Not only do the [Zach Rules] books discuss problems most youngsters have, they also give concrete strategies for solving them.”—Growing Book by Book

I highly recommend this series.”—Barbara Coloroso, best-selling author of Kids Are Worth It! Giving Your Child the Gift of Inner Discipline
