Directions Talk about hypothetical situations, determining which of them make each of you angry. Examples could include someone borrowing a favorite toy without asking, going to get ice cream in the refrigerator and finding it is all gone, raising a hand in class and not getting called on. Extensions
Talk about the fact that everyone gets angry and share things that make you angry. Talk about acceptable and unacceptable reactions you have both seen. Challenge the child to come up with exciting, frustrating, and scary situations and acceptable responses. Find pictures in magazines to illustrate what you are talking about. Cut out pictures of an angry face and a happy face and take turns pointing to them in response to the situational questions.
