🌊THE ANGER WAVE: ANGER MANAGEMENT & EMOTIONAL REGULATION WORKSHEETS FOR KIDS AND TEENS

Teach kids & teens, ages 7-16 years, how to “surf” anger safely with The Anger Wave, an anger management and emotional regulation resource pack.
Does your child or teenager struggle with big emotional reactions, meltdowns, or explosive anger?

Would you like to help them develop emotional intelligence skills, such as noticing emotions early, sitting with uncomfortable feelings, and responding calmly rather than reacting impulsively?

The Anger Wave is an emotional regulation printable that uses a simple, visual metaphor inspired by DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) to show how anger rises, peaks, and falls. With these anger management worksheets, children learn that emotions pass and that they can ride the wave safely with the right support.
