My Family Coach: Anger

Join our free parent/ carer online class run by our sister website, My Family Coach. This is an open event aimed at parents/carers but may also be useful for professionals supporting families.

This class theme is: What Can I Do When My Child Feels Angry?

If your child often gets angry, and you struggle to know how to best help them calm down, this is the class for you. We’ll share ideas to help you spot the warning signs that your child is getting distressed, along with simple ways to calm down emotionally-charged situations.

In this class, you will learn about:

• What happens to our bodies when we feel angry and why children can struggle to recognise their own emotions
• Signs that your child is becoming angry and strategies you can use to help them calm down before they feel out of control
• How you can help them calm down in a safe way

How to ask a question

Email your questions in advance to info@myfamilycoach.com. We try to answer as many questions as possible during each class, but the earlier you get your question in, the more likely they will be answered during the class.

What to expect?

The class will be hosted by one of our behaviour specialists. They will start the session with a short introduction to share their experience with you.

Then it’s time to talk about this theme and the questions we’ve received from you. Do remember to email these to us before the class. You’ll hear lots of practical and helpful ideas to help you at home.

At the end of the session, we will share useful resources from the My Family Coach website linked to this theme and tell you about our next events.
