Lesson Plan

Taming Angry Feelings

Children will recognize physical and emotional signs of anger, learn and practice two calm-down strategies, and express feelings through guided play to strengthen self-regulation skills.

Young children often struggle to label and manage strong emotions. This lesson fosters emotional awareness, teaches concrete calming tools, and provides safe opportunities to express feelings, reducing outbursts and building coping skills.
