Anger turns problematic when it prevents performance, disrupts relationships, and causes trouble. This emotional response can stem from underlying issues such as traumatic events, low self-esteem, or the loss of a loved one.
This "Is Your Anger a Problem?" Worksheet for kids and teens is a tool that can be used to evaluate their anger by asking them to rate its impact on their family, school, and social life. Using a scale, they can gauge how much anger affects each of these areas. They can also describe their experience of anger on the blanks provided for each item.
This worksheet benefits kids and teens who may not realize their anger is becoming a problem. To help them improve self-awareness, teach them about journaling during quiet moments. This allows them to reflect on the day's events and identify patterns in their reactions.
