Learning the Skills of Anger Management

Everyone gets angry, and kids are no exception. Anger is a powerful emotion that must be dealt with throughout life. Emotionally mature adults have learned to acknowledge and control anger, and to release it in healthy ways. Many children--particularly those who lack emotionally mature adult role models--require extra support and practice in order to develop anger-management skills. Don't leave this process to chance or depend on temporary "Band-Aid" approaches. Provide direct, explicit instructions through fun activities involving movement, relaxation, coping techniques, role-plays, the arts, activity sheets, sharing circles, literature and more. Activities are clearly presented and easy to use. Grades 2-6
