  Everyone occasionally experiences natural anger emotions. It’s a typical response to feeling insecure or frustrated and can take different forms, from mild annoyance to outright aggression. In some circumstances, it is advantageous because it gives people motivation and energy to solve problems. 
  Not controlling anger can harm relationships, work performance, and general health and well-being. For parents, controlling their anger can be particularly challenging. They must deal with their emotions and navigate their children’s emotional terrain. 
  Children are constantly learning and developing, frequently testing limits and pushing boundaries. So, it’s natural for parents to become frustrated and angry, but it’s critical to model healthy emotional management for our children. 
  Anger management isn’t about completely suppressing or eliminating your anger. It is about learning to recognize and manage your anger healthily so it does not spiral out of control and harm you or those around you. This book offers methods and tactics to succeed in your anger management journey

  Embark on an epic voyage through the tumultuous era of Norse exploration and conquest. From their legendary expeditions to distant lands to their fierce battles and enigmatic culture, Theodore Zepher's rich narration brings to life the indomitable spirit of these seafaring warriors in this series Box Set. 
  Contains: 
  Book 1 : Vikings 
  Book 2 : Longships on Restless Seas 
  Few are those that have not heard of the fearsome Vikings and their daring exploits. These Northern seafarers, the scourge of the Middle Ages, left their mark on the world’s history in a grand fashion. Courageous, defiant, and driven by the desire for exploration, the Norsemen were the most feared of all Medieval conquerors. Many thought them invincible, and they held many struggling Christian nations in their sway. From Scotland, England, France, and Ireland, down to the shores of Spain and the Baltic, the Vikings left their undeniable mark. Brutal conquest was not the only tool of their trade: these men were able seafarers and great explorers. Vikings discovered and established colonies in the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and North America. Many agree that they were the first to set foot in the land we know today as Canada. All in all, the Vikings hold a vital role in the history of the world. Who knows how our world would look today if it weren’t for these grand Norsemen?

  Lost Heirs of the Medieval Crown...

  When William the Conqueror died in 1087, he left the throne of England to William Rufus . . . his second son. The result was an immediate war as Rufus's elder brother Robert fought to gain the crown he saw as rightfully his; this conflict marked the start of 400 years of bloody disputes as the English monarchy's line of hereditary succession was bent, twisted, and finally broken when the last Plantagenet king, Richard III, fell at Bosworth in 1485. 
   
   
    
  The Anglo-Norman and Plantagenet dynasties were renowned for their internecine strife, and in Lost Heirs we will unearth the hidden stories of fratricidal brothers, usurping cousins, and murderous uncles; the many kings—and the occasional queen—who should have been but never were. History is written by the winners, but every game of thrones has its losers too, and their fascinating stories bring richness and depth to what is a colorful period of history. King John would not have gained the crown had he not murdered his young nephew, who was in line to become England's first King Arthur; Henry V would never have been at Agincourt had his father not seized the throne by usurping and killing his cousin; and as the rival houses of York and Lancaster fought bloodily over the crown during the Wars of the Roses, life suddenly became very dangerous indeed for a young boy named Edmund.
