About this resource
What's inside this resource
A visual anger meter can be a great tool to help children with anger issues. It provides an easy way for children to express their feelings in a non-verbal way. This can be especially helpful for children who may not be able to communicate their feelings verbally. When children use their anger meter it can be used as a way to open discussion and help them understand the cause of their anger and how to manage it in a healthy way. Additionally, the anger meter can be used to teach children healthy coping strategies for managing their anger.
Acknowledging and talking about anger can be a helpful way for children to deal with their anger. Talking about their feelings in a safe environment can help children feel better about their anger and can also help them to figure out how to deal with it in a healthy way. Additionally, teaching children healthy coping strategies for managing their anger can also be helpful.
This anger meter can either be displayed on the wall for children to go to when they feel they need to or to be directed to by an adult or it can be laminated for them to have their own individual copy with them at their desk to pick up and use whenever it is needed.
