Syllabus
5 Lessons
over 5 WeeksLesson 1:
What is Anger & What are my Anger Triggers?
In Week 1, we'll explore the basics of anger. We'll learn what anger is and how it can make us feel. Understanding our emotions is the first step to managing them better. We'll also discover what triggers our anger, like when someone annoys us. By knowing our triggers, we can start to control our reactions better. Lesson 2:
Anger Signs
This week, we'll learn to recognize the signs that tell us we're getting angry. These are our body's ways of telling us we're upset. By noticing these signs early, we can take steps to calm down before our anger gets too big. Lesson 3:
Calming strategies
When we feel angry, it's essential to have ways to calm ourselves down. In Week 3, we'll explore different calming strategies we can use. By practicing these techniques, we can learn to calm ourselves down and feel better. Lesson 4:
Managing Our Reactions
Sometimes when we're angry, we react without thinking. In Week 4, we'll learn the importance of stopping, thinking, and then reacting. We'll discover the difference between reacting and responding. By learning to respond instead of react, we can make better choices when we're angry. Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I'm Alison, and I'm thrilled to be here to guide your child on a journey of learning important life skills. With over 16 years of experience as a School Counselor, Special Educational Needs Coach, and School Social Worker, I'm dedicated to teaching social, emotional, and well-being skills to children and young people.
During the last decade, I've worked as an international school counselor. I frequently conducted individual and group sessions covering a range of topics, including social skills, anger management, self-regulation, executive functioning, self-control, ADHD/Autism support, and understanding / responding to strong feelings.
I have been teaching social, emotional, well-being and character development for most of my career. To support this work, I have been trained in and utilize various accredited social and emotional programs, including Zones of Regulation, Kelso's Choices, and Second Step. These programs have also played a key role within my lessons as they promote emotional intelligence, empathy, and problem-solving skills.
I have spent a number of years working with students with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. The focus of my work was on developing their executive functioning, social skills, and academics. Reviews
