ERIC Digest. "Helping Young Children Deal with Anger." Author: Marion, Marian. ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education. Champaign, IL. ED414077 97
Helping Children Develop Self-Regulatory Skills. Realizing that the children in their care have a very limited ability to regulate their own emotions, teachers of infants and toddlers do a lot of self-regulation "work." As children get older, adults can gradually transfer control of the self to children so that they develop self-regulatory skills.
Encouraging Children to Label Feelings of Anger. Teachers and parents can help young children produce a label for their anger by teaching them that they are having a feeling and that they can use a word to describe their angry feeling. A permanent record (a book or chart) can be made of lists of labels for anger (e.g., mad, irritated, annoyed), and the class can refer to it when discussing angry feelings.
Encouraging Children to Talk About Anger-Arousing Interactions. Preschool children better understand anger and other emotions when adults explain emotions (Denham, Zoller, and Couchoud, 1994). When children are embroiled in an anger-arousing interaction, teachers can help by listening without judging, evaluating, or ordering them to feel differently.
Using Books and Stories About Anger to Help Children Understand and Manage Anger. Well-presented stories about anger and other emotions validate children's feelings and give information about anger (Jalongo, 1986; Marion, 1995). It is important to preview all books about anger because some stories teach irresponsible anger management.
