It is beneficial for children to learn to manage their anger in order to develop positive relationships.
Anger management programs are beneficial to make available in schools because they teach children ways to manage their anger. By teaching anger management skills to children, they develop skills to control their anger, which leads to more positive, growing relationships. In order to introduce anger management programs in school, program administrators must realize that not all children react and learn in the exact same way. In order to make an anger management program beneficial, it would have to target children of all ages and learning types.
Instructions
1. Construct a questionnaire to determine what triggers childrens' aggressive behaviors. Questions should focus on how children deal with anger, how children can release their anger in a safe manner and how children usually act when they are angry. An anger management program is valuable only when it can target a child's individual needs.
2. Introduce methods to your local school that would be successful in an anger management program. The methods in the program must address ways where children can deal with aggression and provide examples to the school.
3. Construct a method that enables a child to deal with stress. Explain to the school who this would benefit the child. For example, coloring can be a good method to release anger creatively.
4. Choose a method in the program that allows a child to communicate and avoid anger. Helping a child communicate will teach the child to forgive, and the child will than learn to control anger.
5. Provide examples to the school that will help children control their anger within the anger management program. Make a presentation on parent's night to seek volunteers.
