My own son used to struggle with anger management, and it’s still a work in progress for us. That’s why I’m excited to share this month’s action task with you, which focuses on equipping your child with practical regulation skills using analogies.

Action Task: Download and Try the Activity Posters on Managing Anger

For this month's action task, I've created activity posters for two analogies: the fire analogy and the volcano analogy.

​

These posters are designed to help your child visualise and understand how to manage their anger using the "Stop, Drop, and Roll" strategy.

​

​

Here's How You Can Get Started

Step 1: Download the Posters

​

Step 2: Brainstorm with Your Child

Sit down together and discuss ways to create calm when emotions run high. Encourage them to think of ways they can manage their anger proactively.

​

Step 3: Display Them

Place the posters in a prominent spot where your child can see them regularly. This could be on the fridge, in their bedroom, or any common area.

​

The visual reminders will help reinforce the strategies and make it easier for your child to remember what to do when they feel angry.

​

Step 4: Practice and Encourage

Encourage your child to refer to the posters whenever they start to feel angry. Practice the strategies together as a family. Consistency is key.

​

Skills take time to develop, so don’t panic if your child doesn’t seem to grasp everything right away. Be patient and supportive of their progress. Encourage them to keep practicing, and celebrate small victories along the way!

​

Let me know your experiences in using these posters!
