The Anger Solution Game
-
Description
From the Rules
This game is intended to be played with adult supervision. Any empathetic adult (parent, teacher, counselor, etc.) can assist children to effectively identify, express, and manage their anger. Although anger is a natural emotion in response to conflict situations, it can jeopardize relationships if it is not communicated effectively and appropriately.Typically, people react inappropriately to anger in one of two ways. The first is by overreacting to conflict situations by becoming verbally and/or physically explosive to others after allowing anger to build up. Secondly, a person may react to anger by internalizing their frustration with a conflict situation which often results in physiological or emotional symptoms of stress.
The Anger Solution Game was developed through the integration of a psycho-educational approach with cognitive behavioral intervention modality.The main goal is to help the client to understand that he/she has control over behavioral responses to anger and that he/she can make choices which can result in positive solutions.
