Steve Herman Bossy Dragon, The (My Dragon Books - Volume 45)
Having a pet dragon is so much fun. You can teach him to sit, roll over, and play… You can teach him to follow rules, control his anger, overcome his anxiety, show respect, and many more… But what if your dragon is being bossy? What if he always wants to be in charge and demands others to do what he wants? What if he is disappointed and angry when his friends don’t play as he says? What if he’s having trouble both at school and at home because he is always bossing others around and wants to do things “his way”? What if he throws a fit when things don’t go his way and end up with no friend? What should you do? You teach him that being bossy isn’t a way to make friends and keep friends. You teach him the importance of compromise. You show him the power of flexibility. You train him to know when to take a step back and listen to others’ feelings, wants, and needs.

Anne Katherine Boundaries
Where You End And I Begin Some boundaries are obvious, such as the physical space surrounding you. You are affected when this boundary is crossed--if you are shoved, or kissed; if you are touched suggestively, if a stranger simply stands too close. Some boundaries are harder to see, but they are just as important, and affect you just as much--emotional boundaries. Boundaries can bring order to your life, strengthen your relationships with yourself and others, and are essential to your mental and physical health. Real-life stories throughout the book illustrate the ill effects of not setting limits, and the benefits of protecting your own personal boundaries and respecting those of others.
