What Is Your Anger Button?
At Concord Elementary we are trying to develop the skill of identifying what makes an individual mad or bugs you to the point of reaction through the guidance curriculum.
The common reactions we often see in people include: showing anger, holding anger inside, and dumping anger on others.
The goal is for our students to know what makes them mad and know how they usually react, so they can do something positive to handle the emotion and situation.
Throughout the guidance curriculm, kindergarten through fifth grade, we continue to encourage many healthy ways to manage anger and other emotions. Some of these strategies include:
Stop and Think - put space between you and "what" is making you mad.
Count to ten
Take a deep breath
Walk away
Positive self talk
I Statements
Quiet time to think and relax
Practice the skill of frustration
Exercise or play
