About this Course

Anger is a natural and important emotion that helps children communicate their needs, cope with challenges, and respond to frustration. However, when anger is not managed appropriately, it can interfere with a child's social, emotional, and behavioral development. Early childhood professionals play a key role in helping children understand their feelings and develop healthy ways to express them. This course explores the purpose and function of anger in childhood, examining the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components that influence how children respond to difficult situations. Participants will learn about the common causes and triggers of childhood anger, the various ways children express frustration, and the potential effects of unresolved anger on relationships, learning, and overall well-being. Learners will also explore the foundations of effective anger management programs and discover practical, age-appropriate strategies for helping children identify emotions, regulate their responses, and communicate their feelings constructively. Through engaging activities and evidence-based techniques, participants will gain tools to support emotional self-awareness, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and positive social interactions. 🌟 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 🌟 ✔️ Washington State ​Nexport courses are not approved in Washington state to meet annual STARS training requirements.
