Open the Joy Anger Management Tool Kit

Open the Joy’s Anger Management Toolkit helps children deal with strong emotions through exploration and play. The difficult concept of anger is broken down into easy steps, each paired with a worksheet or activity!

Step 1 Get to know your Angry Feelings: Children learn to identify different forms of anger (i.e jealousy, frustration, irritation) with guided questions, a coloring activity and writing prompts.

Step 2 Get to know your Body: Children become detectives and discover their body’s clues when an angry outburst is on the way!

Step 3 Get to know your Actions: Children reflect on how they behave when angry, and draw their own “Angry Monster” to personify the emotional reaction.

Step 4 Make your “Angry Monster”: Children use clay to make their very own “Angry Monster” unique and separate from themselves.

Step 5 Control the “Angry Monster”: Children are provided with calming strategies to help when the “Angry Monster” gets out of hand!

Learning self-regulation is an essential part of a child’s emotional and mental development. The Anger Management Toolkit teaches therapeutic techniques in a manner that is easy to understand, implement and practice.

KIT INCLUDES: 3 Tubs of Air Dry Putty (20gms/3 Colors), 3 Character Cut-Outs to Color, 5 Self-Regulation Worksheets, 2 Clay Instruction Sheets, 1 Guide for Grownups.
