Karli can get really annoyed if he doesn’t like something. He quickly takes offence and feels misunderstood. That makes him angry and sometimes causes him to explode, like a volcano. But it also makes him sad that other people don’t like him as a result and try to keep away from him. Karli’s grandpa helps him recognize and control his anger, so he doesn’t clash so much with his parents and friends.

This book aims to make it easier for children with oppositional defiant disorder to understand their current situation. In a sensitive way, it demonstrates how quickly they can fall into a spiral of anger, but also how they can get back out of it. The book provides important information on this topic for children, their parents, siblings, and therapists as well as practical tasks and exercises.

For:
• children of elementary school age
(between 6 and 12) with oppositional
defiant disorder
• parents
• relatives
• therapists
