Parents, carers, teachers and child therapists looking for anger coping skills for children may find this printable helpful when a young person needs safe ways to release big feelings. It focuses on practical, body-based strategies such as punching a pillow, exercising, crying, squeezing a stress ball, dancing, walking, running, blowing bubbles and relaxing muscles.
The Anger Letting It Out PDF for kids is a printable coping strategies handout that helps children recognise when anger is building and choose a safer physical outlet. Instead of acting on urges to hit, throw objects, shout at others or slam doors, the sheet suggests practical ways to release tension, such as screaming into a pillow, tearing scrap paper, crumpling used paper, pushing against a wall, popping bubble wrap, playing a ball sport, jumping on a trampoline, cycling or walking with permission, and squeezing play dough or a stress ball.
It can be used by parents, carers, teachers, pastoral staff and child therapists as part of anger management support, emotional regulation work or a calm-down plan. Children can read it with an adult, circle ideas they are willing to try, or keep a copy in a bedroom, classroom, counselling folder or wellbeing space. It may also support lessons on feelings, classroom activities about safe choices, home learning discussions, behaviour support planning, and one-to-one therapy sessions.
Use the PDF as a quick reference before difficult moments, after an angry incident, or when helping a child build a personalised list of calming and release strategies. Download, print and use the handout wherever a simple reminder of safer anger outlets would be helpful. This resource was created by MyleMarks.com.
