Many pupils have trouble in controlling their strong feelings and in managing conflict in both school and home settings. This programme aims to help children:
- avoid or manage situations of conflict

In this thoughtful approach to anger management, the authors suggest a teaching and learning model and use ‘story’ as the focus of pupil engagement. During the 10-session programme, participants will:
- understand the causes of anger in a variety of situations
- learn about physiological and behavioural aspects of anger
- rehearse coping strategies
- plan positive responses to provocative situations.
Controlling Anger: A Solution-focused Approach for Children provides eight stories to help pupils develop emotionalliteracy. The topics of the stories include fighting with friends,bullying, swearing humiliation and exclusion. The stories alsoreinforce some of the key themes and concepts introducedvia the Primary National Strategy’s SEAL Curriculum.
