Facts show that name calling between elementary students often lead to physical fights and in some case can cause death. This study aimed to examine effectiveness of Affective Bibliotherapy in reducing aggressive behaviours of fourth grader.

Through this process, children can release the suppressed emotional tensions and gain insight on the problems.
