Manage Your Anger – Curriculum for Children utilizes a skill-streaming psycho-educational approach to teach psychological and social competencies to children ages 6 to 11. It provides the following core components:
- Empathy training, in which students identify their own feelings and those of others.
- Impulse control, in which students are presented a problem-solving strategy and behavioral skills.
- Anger management, in which students are presented a coping strategy and behavioral skills for tense situations
The Curriculum is intended for both aggressive and withdrawn children who lack proficiency in pro-social cognitive and emotional competencies. The children suited for this curriculum may be assessed as displaying moderate or strong tendencies toward aggression, and antisocial behavior on the one hand, or asocial behavior, withdrawal, and social isolation on the other. The authors recognize that this program will be used primarily for those youngsters who tend toward the aggression and antisocial behavior realm. The Curriculum provides a program for reversing the developmental delays which may lead to more acute levels of aggressive or withdrawn behavior.
