A practical guide for parents to help children manage anger through emotional support and understanding
LOS ANGELES, CA, April 10, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books returns to the University of Southern California campus on April 18–19, 2026, continuing its legacy as one of the nation’s most vibrant literary gatherings. Guided by this year’s theme, “Many stories. One weekend.”, the festival celebrates diversity in literature and highlights voices that support learning, growth, and emotional well-being.
As one of the official exhibitors at the 2026 festival, MainSpring Books joins this celebration of storytelling by presenting its featured authors at Booth #967. Among them is Dr. Rosalyn Anstine Templeton, a MainSpring Books VIP author and the writer of Avoiding Anger When Hurting: Helping Little Kids, who will appear for a special book signing and a professionally recorded author interview during the event.
In Avoiding Anger When Hurting, Dr. Templeton offers a practical and compassionate approach to helping young children navigate emotional pain before it turns into anger. Drawing from decades of experience as an educator and consultant specializing in emotional disorders, she introduces the concept of “emotional first aid”—a set of strategies designed to help parents recognize, assess, and respond to the emotional challenges children face.
Through clear guidance and easy-to-follow techniques, the book equips parents with tools to encourage communication, support emotional development, and help children recover from feelings of failure and rejection. By addressing emotional hurt early, Dr. Templeton shows how families can prevent anger-driven behaviors and create a more positive, supportive environment at home.
Blending professional expertise with real-world application, Avoiding Anger When Hurting empowers parents and caregivers to guide children toward confidence, resilience, and healthier emotional expression.
Festival attendees are invited to visit MainSpring Books at Booth #967 to meet Dr. Rosalyn Anstine Templeton, receive a signed copy of her book, and learn more about her work in helping children and families thrive.
