Anger Management for Kids Workbook: 26 Calm Down Pages, Ages 6 to 11

This anger management for kids workbook helps children from about 6 to 11 make sense of big, hot feelings and learn safe ways to cool off. Across 26 undated pages your child uses an anger thermometer, spots triggers and body clues, spins a wheel of calming ideas, traces breathing shapes, works through a problem solver, practices saying sorry, and earns stars on a reward chart. You get both US Letter and A4 PDF files as an instant download, and nothing arrives by post.

The pages are friendly, hands-on and short, so your child can draw, trace and color while learning coping skills that last.

How the anger management for kids workbook helps

A small, friendly volcano named Rumble guides your child through the book. The message is simple: feeling angry is normal, but hurting someone or breaking things is never okay. Kids rate their anger on a scale from 0 to 10, name what sets them off, catch the first signs in their body, and use the anger iceberg to find the quieter feelings hiding underneath.

When the heat starts to rise, they have clear moves to try: stop, think, choose, a wheel with eight calm-down ideas, four shapes to breathe along, and the volcano breath. Once things settle, the problem solver, the I statement practice and the sorry page teach them how to repair what happened. A parent guide gives you easy words to say, so the two of you can rehearse on quiet, happy days instead of only in the hard moments.

• Siblings who argue often, and families who would like shared anger rules everyone agrees on
