Temper Tamers in a Jar: Helping Kids Cool Off and Manage Anger

My son was disappointed it wasn't a 'fun' game for him but as the questions and suggestions and role play were from the jar it made it less personal from me so after the initial time of looking at the cards (I had only chosen a couple from each section as not to over load him) it gave us a starting point. Yes I could have made my own cards as a lot of it is common sense and things we have talked about but he could read the cards and have a think in his own time or we read some together

While I'm making purchases for friends and family for Christmas and Birthdays, my wife does the wrapping, this type of gift she reckons is just perfect...10 points to me ( and still cash in the bank from not letting the wife do the shopping this year!)

I am a counsellor and work with childreb ages 5-11.This is great for the older children who can read the cards and share their feelings of anger based on the 'what would you do' Cards. My only downfall is that they are worded for people who live in America.

these came quickly in the post and are a fun thing to do with your kids to get them to get in touch with their feelings and get them to really connect with how others feel as well. great game coming from a teacher

Great for use in the therapy room - cards are smaller than expected and may not last too long - bit flimsy - especially with children in a temper!

Not quite what I had hoped for. Cards could be more interesting inside!

Just going to check If I got it. order 3 and they where helpful to open up coversation

I chose this item as i work with ASD children, i shared the ideas with parents and children together it was brilliant!

This exceeded my expectations - yes, the quality of the paper cards could be better (they are a little thin) but the content is excellent with great conversation starters. I'm using it for my child and spouse! Fun dinnertime talk if you get people discussing feelings in a non-confrontational setting with neutral prompts like these cards.

My son loves these. He is 8 an has found them so very helpful. My middle little 9 did not. My eldest 14. Meh they help but they don’t other times.

Great product! Perfect for working with kids who are struggling with anger! I love the tips that it provides as sometimes students have a hard time coming up with coping skills for anger. I was happy that are lots of tips to choose from! I also use these tips for students who are experiencing anxiety and depression.

Good for my grandson and he always refers to the cards either we play together or he reads on his own so he knows that other people have anger problems too

I’m a therapist who works with children and I’ve been searching for a game that works well for telehealth sessions. These cards are great to ask kids for a fun change of pace during session but many of the cards are related to being physically pushed or verbally harassed which doesn’t offer much variety. I would have liked some more cards related to social media use or mean comments online. I don’t think kids can relate to someone shoving them down on the sidewalk as much anymore, certainly not as much as being cyber bullied. I would also have liked more innocent anger triggers than blatant violence or harassment because anyone would be angry at being shoved but kids with anger management issues get mad at more normal every day situations. Just something to think about.
