What is the theory behind this Child anger management worksheet?
One of the key steps towards anger management is recognizing possible triggers and being mindful of the thoughts and behavioral patterns that follow. It not only helps in anticipating the consequences of a possible trigger but also gives one enough time to deploy positive coping strategies before losing control of the situation.
How will the worksheet help?
The worksheet will help kids be mindful of their anger and its consequences. It will also encourage the use of positive coping strategies that can help them to deal with their negative thoughts and behavior so that any undesirable consequences can be minimized.
How to use the worksheet?
Instruct the child to fill out the table at the end of the day or sometime after an anger episode. Tell them go through the ‘Cool off’ list to choose at least 1 coping strategy that they can do. They can show how they feel by choosing the appropriate smiley at the end. Encourage the use of multiple strategies to see what works the best.
