Anger Management for Children
|
In this program, children learn that bad things happen when they get angry. They examine when they get angry, who
they think makes them angry, and what feelings they have when they show their anger. Next they learn behaviors to
control their anger—what they can do instead. Children are given very specific age-appropriate exercises to do in a
fun-filled environment. They examine very complicated anger issues in a very simple, gentle way. They learn how to
overcome their anger through experiential exercises that also serve to enhance their self-esteem.

“I can’t believe the
changes that have
happened with my son.
He has gotten his
anger under control
and he feels better
about himself. He loves
going to the group.”
