In The Kid Connection elementary school students learn social emotional skills that support their meaningful participation in the classroom, on the playground, and in their lives outside of school. During the school dismissal period Miss Kitty, our Kid Connection Specialist, will be offering a series of brief, 5-minute videos for our students to learn and practice social emotional skills at home.
Dealing with Anger
-
To help your child learn to deal with anger:
Explain to your child that anger is a natural emotion that everyone feels at times.
Talk with your child about times you have felt angry (don’t do this when you ARE feeling angry).
Help your child to identify times he/she has felt angry. How did his/her body feel?
Brainstorm strategies your child can use when feeling angry (count to 10, breathe deeply, label his/her emotion, walk away, draw a picture, write in a journal).
