Identifying Anger - Parent 1

Your student is participating in classroom activities helping them learn how to identify anger. We would love for you to keep the discussion going at home!

Definition: Anger is a feeling people get when something unfair, painful, or bad happens. It is described as a feeling of displeasure.

Here are just a few ideas to help get the conversation started:

• Everyone feels anger. It's ok to feel angry. The important part is to not act on your anger so that it hurts others or yourself.
• When we are angry our body gives us signals such as heart beating fast, hands sweating, or clenched fist.
• We may become angry for many reasons. Sometimes when we don't like to be told we can't do something or when we lose a game we might become angry.
• Share your own situations that cause you to feel anger and what strategies or coping skills you use to lessen that feeling of anger.
