14 parts Complete Ten-year-old Alex Parker is an energetic and seemingly happy child with a love for sports and an eagerness to make friends. On the surface, life seems great. But behind Alex's wide grin is a simmering frustration that often boils over into uncontrollable bursts of anger. Whether it's a misplaced pass in soccer or a perceived slight from a classmate, Alex's temper often gets the best of them, leaving bruises on friendships and a confused sense of self.
Unaware of the root of their struggles, Alex feels like an outsider in their own life-unable to understand why things never seem to go the way they expect. When a new school counselor, Ms. Jensen, takes an interest in Alex, she helps them uncover the hidden truth: Alex has been struggling with anger management, but they never realized it because it had always been dismissed as "just a phase" or "normal childhood behavior."
As Alex begins to confront this hidden part of themselves, they must navigate their relationships with family, friends, and school, learning not just to control their outbursts but to understand why they happen in the first place. Along the way, Alex discovers that anger is not an enemy to be feared or suppressed, but an emotion to be understood, managed, and channeled in healthier ways.
Behind the Roar is a heartwarming and emotional journey of self-discovery, where a child learns the power of patience, communication, and the importance of empathy in a world that often overlooks the complexities of childhood emotions.
