3 Tools to Keep Hot Tempers Cool....

Do you have a child or student who could use some help developing anger management skills? We’ve put this list of resources together for you.

Stop, Relax & Think Game

The idea of the Stop, Relax & Think game is just that, learning how to stop, relax, and think in difficult situations. The goal of this game is to help impulsive children learn to communicate their emotions, improve their problem solving skills and to slow down and think before they act.

A player will get one of three card suits that could be a Feeling, Relaxing, or a Thinking card. The player will then demonstrate how to act out the scenario on the card. Feeling cards are designed to help students understand their feelings and build empathy. Relaxing cards feature different relaxation techniques students practice while playing. Thinking cards challenge kids to think about problems prior to acting.
