CHILDREN AND ANGER
Ward, Elaine M.
When children are able to recognize and name their feelings, they experience a sense of power rather than helplessness. Children can suggest imaginative ways to dispose of anger, like put it in the garbage, grind it up in the kitchen disposal, tie it to a rock and bury it, or drop it in a pond or the ocean. As we help children understand that everyone has strong feelings, we can use conflict creatively. Feelings help us know what is meaningful to us. This new resource from Elaine Ward offers methods for helping children understand their anger and ways to deal with it.
