Anger Management Games for Children is a practical guide with clear
and explicit theoretical underpinnings that would be useful for all
those supporting the emotional development of primary school aged
children... As a psychologist it was refreshing to see a
solution-focused approach being used to anger management, with an
emphasis on facilitators reflecting on their practice and their own
emotional needs... This is an incredibly useful and practical
resource for those setting out to successfully use games in anger
management work with children.
*Debate*
Adults are encouraged to use the games mindfully, making sure they
are aware of the possible effects exploring sensitive issues with
vulnerable children. Ideas for reflection after each activity
prompt children to make sense of the feelings generated by the game
they have played. The games are simple to play and clearly
explained, with symbols indicating the time required and the
recommended age. The games range from five to 60 minutes' duration,
and mostly require no extra resources, which make them an
invaluable resource for any adult who works with children aged
5-12.
*The Sign*
There are many good ideas here that can be dipped in and out or
added to your current repertoire ideas.
*NASEN Special*
This handbooks is designed to help adults understand and manage
children's anger. It includes games and activities that encourage
children aged between five and 12 to express their emotions in a
healthy way.
*Children and Young People Now*
Deborah M Plummer's practical guide is packed full of easy-to-learn
games that will help teachers to understand and manage children's
anger.
*Junior Education Education Plus*
This book is divided into two parts. The first explores the theory
around anger, with chapters on understanding anger: why games are
used to support healthy anger management; structuring the emotional
environment when a child is already angry, and self-reflection and
self-care for workers.
I really enjoyed the common sense approach the author uses in this
section. She explains anger as a normal, healthy human emotion, and
clearly describes the chemistry involved in experiencing and
expressing anger.
