If Feelings Could Talk. Anger, Anxiety, Stress, Boundaries. Let’s Manage Anger!

I have a bachelors degree in child and family from Iowa State University. I have extensive experience with developmentally challenged children and young adults. This is not a therapy class, it is to teach children ways to express feelings. 

What does our voice sound like if we are angry? 

The questions and conversations I will be having with the students will not be specifically guided from their personal issues. I give broad statements such as:

If your sibling takes your favorite toy here are two things you can try. First we use our word: please give it back. Second we ask mom or dad to help. 

No live meetings, and maybe some time outside of class.

I will be using teachings from: Mosaic of Thought: Teaching Comprehension in a Reader's Workshop by Susan Zimmerman and Ellin Oliver Keene (Heinemann, 1997).
