Controlling Anger: A Solution Focused Approach for Young People

by Tina Rae, Sara Daly

Many pupils experience difficulty in controlling their strong feelings and in managing conflict in both school and home settings. This programme aims to help young * avoid or manage situations of conflict * understand that they can create change * realise that it is possible to resolve difficulties and achieve a positive outcome. In this thoughtful approach to anger management, the authors suggest a teaching and learning model and use 'story' as the focus of pupil engagement. The book uses eight newspaper articles to help pupils to develop emotional literacy through subjects such * Road rage * racist incidents * Happy slapping * street fights. During the 10 session programme young people * understand anger in a variety of situations * learn about physiological and behavioural aspects of anger * rehearse coping strategies * plan positive responses to provocative situations. This book offers teachers and non-teaching staff a practical, exciting and well-designed resource with full facilitator notes and all handout materials printable from the downloadable resources.
