Lesson 091 of 300
Recognize anger through body signals and learn that feelings are acceptable even when harmful actions are not.
This language pathway is active. The authoritative curriculum lesson is currently presented in its original English while its reviewed local-language edition is prepared.
Help the child identify anger as a strong feeling that may appear when something is blocked, unfair, painful, confusing, or frustrating. Teach common body signals and safe alternatives to hitting, biting, kicking, throwing, or breaking.
"Angry is a strong feeling. Your hands may become tight. Your face may feel hot. Your voice may become loud, and your body may want to push, bite, kick, or throw. Anger is allowed. Hurting is not. Stop your hands and feet. Move toward your caregiver or away from the problem. Say, sign, or show, 'Angry.' Your caregiver helps keep everyone safe and stays nearby while the feeling becomes smaller. Later, you can repair what happened and practise a safer action. You can be angry and still keep bodies safe." DESIGN REQUIREMENTS: Use realistic frustration and calm adult support. Avoid rage imagery, punishment, violence, punching animations, anger scoring, or instructions to suppress the feeling.
Pause, point, name what you notice, and connect the idea to something familiar in your child's day. Repetition, a calm voice, shared attention and dependable care matter more than finishing quickly.
