The Angry Otter an anger management story
Description Follow along with Otter as they learn about anger triggers, warning signs, and coping skills. The Angry Otter features 16 pages of bright and colorful illustrations to keep kids engaged as they learn about anger. Suggested Uses Comparison: Teach children about anger by comparing their own anger triggers and signs of anger to those of Otter. Is Otter relatable? Is Otter different in any way?

Then, share the accompanying Anger Coping Skills worksheet as a take-home reminder to reinforce learning. Accompanying worksheet: Anger Coping Skills for Kids worksheet monkey
Anger Monsters an educational anger activity
Description After choosing one of fifteen unique anger monsters, your clients will complete games and activities related to anger. Topics include triggers, warning signs, coping skills, and more. After completing each of the activities, you can review and print the results in a colorful packet to encourage children to review what they've learned. Suggested Uses Education: Introduce children to the topic of anger by covering the basics. What is anger? Is anger good or bad? Can I learn to control my anger? These questions, and more, are answered throughout the activity. Coping skills: Let your clients choose their favorites from a series of coping cards, or let them come up with their own. Then, in the review section, print a sheet of their favorite cards for practice.
Emotion Exploration guided audio activity
Description We often experience emotion mostly through our thoughts, never tuning into the sensations emotion creates in the body. By thinking about emotion rather than feeling it, our emotional range shrinks over time, leaving us detached from our feelings. The Emotion Exploration audio activity helps listeners explore the physical sensations that emotion creates. By tracking these sensations, listeners can experience, process, and release their emotions. With regular practice, this leads to a more rewarding relationship with emotion. The exercise is an ideal accompaniment to any somatic or body-focused therapy, but it can also be used independently with clients who intellectualize or avoid their emotions. By helping clients process emotions at the level of sensation, this exercise can also support the treatment of trauma. Be sure to prepare your clients for the intensity that experiencing their emotions may involve. Duration: 14-15 minutes Suggested Uses Education: Teach clients how to shift from thinking about their emotions to feeling them in their body. Practice: Invite clients to practice this exercise regularly, optionally pairing it with a log in which they record their experience. With time, clients may be able to implement the exercise without the audio. Download: You may download a copy of the Emotion Exploration audio exercise in MP3 format to take with you or share with clients so they can practice outside of session.
Focus Fish
Focus Fish is an engaging, educational activity about ADHD. Children select and name a fish character who will guide them through 5 interactive activities, such as card matching and sentence completion.
Through simple and encouraging language, kids will learn what ADHD is, identify their own challenges related to ADHD, and practice coping skills. After completing each of the activities, you can print the results in a colorful packet to encourage children and caregivers to review what they’ve learned.
Managing the symptoms of ADHD can have a dramatic positive effect on a child’s school performance, social relationships, and self-esteem.
