Anger Management

BRIEF SUMMARY

Anger is neither good nor bad-it is simply an emotion. However, learning to respond to angry feelings in healthy and productive ways is an important life skill that transfers to the world of work.

KEY POINTS

• Assertion training is a powerful way to manage anger.
• Mindfulness is another great tool in your anger management tool box.

SHARED WISDOM

• Angry reactions often mask deeper feelings like fear or embarrassment.
• Assertion skills should be taught to all students. Some may require a Tier 2 intervention, such as a small group, to teach anger management skills.
• Second Step has a K-8 curriculum, and there is a section on emotion management.  The Zones of Regulation program is great.  I use it with elem students, but you could tweak it to work with older kids.
