While some children instinctively know how to regulate their emotions, plenty of others lack the skills they need to express their anger in healthy and effective ways. This warm, engaging workbook helps children ages 5-10 develop strong skills for managing their anger through 40 fun activities.

From identifying their feelings and challenging negative thinking patterns to practicing healthy coping skills when angry feelings arise, kids will learn to feel calmer and more in control--and to form better relationships with family and friends and ease problems at school. A bonus section at the end of each chapter encourages kids and their families to practice the skills they've learned for even greater success.

    Activity 2: 'I' Messages

    When you're feeling bothered by something, it's a good idea to think about what you need in order to feel better. Sometimes, you can meet your own need. Other times, you may want to share your thoughts with someone you trust so they can help you. Remember, this doesn't mean that your need will be met right away, because sometimes that's not possible! Here's what you can say:

    I feel ________________________
     
    Because ________________________
     
    And I need _____________________


    Examples of Needs:
     
    *To go outdoors                    *A hug
     
    *Sleep or rest                       *Playtime
     
    *Time with a parent              *Alone time
     
    *Something to eat or drink    *A break
     
    *A deep breath  
     
    Did you notice that the sentence in the box above uses 'I'? This is so you can take ownership of your feeling and need, rather than blaming it on someone else. After all, 'I need alone time' sounds a lot nicer than, 'Get out of my room!' Practice coming up with 'I' messages below. You can think of your own ideas for needs, or you can use the examples above to help you.
     
    Example: Your parents have been busy all day, and you've played by yourself.  You're feeling bored and lonely.
     
    I feel lonely because I've played by myself all day and I need time with Mom or Dad.


    1.      You didn't sleep well the night before, and now you're tired.
     
    I feel __________________ because ________________________________________ and I need _________________.
     
    2.      You've been working on your homework for a long time, and you're starting to get frustrated with it.
     
    I feel _________________ because _________________________________________ and I need _________________.
     
    3.      You've had a hard day at school, and you're feeling down.
     
    I feel __________________ because _______________________________________ and I need __________________.
