Puppet Video 21 Minutes. This game, workbook, video and puppet video will teach cognitive skills necessary for effective anger control. The programs format maximizes interest and commitment to treatment. Aggressive children are less able to predict the feelings of others, particularly to aggressive acts. Rather than interpreting being bumped by another student as an accident, they are apt to see it as a deliberate provocation.
Nonaggressive children are apt to talk to themselves to control their anger.
I'm going to keep my cool. The feeling of anger is so salient that underlying feelings such as rejection, hurt, anxiety, embarrassment and the like are often obscured. Becoming aware of these feelings permits more effective problem solving. Aggressive children often have an unrealistic view of the impact of thier behavior on others. This board game consists of 6 card decks that correspond to the above cognitive skills and 1 warm-up card deck.
