Did you know that it’s OKAY to be angry? Anger is a natural, God-given emotion and it’s okay.

The thing is, when we are dealing with big emotions like anger, we have to learn how to act on those emotions appropriately. To some of us, this comes naturally and needs no explanation. To some kids, however, knowing how to manage anger and respond correctly is a learned skill. These kids naturally lash out and react inappropriately to the anger emotion and need help finding calming and coping skills.

Lyman Abbot once said, “Do not teach your children never to be angry. Teach them HOW to be angry.” That’s the focus of the tools found in this post, all of which we own in our home. And don’t forget the element of fun. You can make these lessons in coping with anger fun! (Just don’t try to pull anything out of your hat in the middle of your child’s angry moment. Play with these tools when everyone is happiest.)

If your child needs to learn coping skills, I highly recommend the Creating Coping Skills Champions E-course for parents. It was a huge eye-opener for me and is all about helping you find ways to help your child.

I recommend pinning this post to help you find it later!

Managing anger is a learning skill.  As parents we can help our kids with their feelings of anger with activities, games and more that will help them respond to anger appropriately.

    I love this idea! I wish I had more outlets when I was angry when I was younger. It would of helped me a lot more I think, especially now as an adult.

    Anger is something we all have and I think it’s a great idea to show kids how to control it early. It will definitely shape them into a better person and show that you don’t have to take your anger out in certain ways. Love this!

    The personal sandbox looks fun and it could be used for other learning activities as well as how to deal with anger.

    I grew up being taught that anger was a bad emotion. And from that, I bottle my feelings up until I explode!

This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails.

First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love.
