Anger is a very difficult and often misunderstood emotion for children to experience. Facilitating the healthy management of this natural but challenging emotion is crucial for children's social, psychological, and emotional wellbeing and resilience. Based on over thirty years of expertise, Deborah Plummer provides varied and straightforward activities for teachers, parents, and therapists to healthily engage with children and help them manage anger. This activity book allows space to explore anger and varying degrees of emotion whilst also providing help on how to manage it, allowing children to have better and healthier emotional self-awareness.

This book is one of a series based on the use of imagination (I), mindful play (MP) and creative thinking (CT) to enhance social, psychological and emotional wellbeing and resilience in children. The accompanying ebook Using Imagination, Mindful Play and Creative Thinking to Support Wellbeing and Resilience in Children describes the theory and approach behind how these activities can significantly influence children's perceptions of themselves and the world.
