It is normal to feel angry at times. But when is anger, irritability, and aggression unhealthy for a child? If they feel angry almost every day and it affects their daily life, then anger could be a problem. 

Low self-esteem, bullying, trauma, and divorce are some factors that can contribute to anger in teens. It’s not the anger itself that’s a problem, but the inability to deal with it effectively and constructively.

In this course, your child will learn self-awareness skills to take back control of their emotions.

What will you learn?

You will learn how to address anger as a normal, healthy emotion by understanding:

• Effects of anger on the brain
• What is anger and how to manage anger
• Functions, symptoms, and signs of anger
• Factors that contribute to anger in youth or teens (such as development, stress, lack of support, feeling misunderstood or not heard, trauma)
• Communication strategies, including the following:
  •  “I” messages
  • Active listening
  • DESC communication strategy (describe, express, specify, consequences)

By the end of the session, you will feel more comfortable:
