Detailed Description

Anger is a feeling or emotion that ranges from mild annoyance to intense rage. While the feeling of anger is a normal human response to un-met goals or unfair treatment. Uncontrolled anger becomes a problem when it is felt too intensely, or too frequently, or is expressed inappropriately. Learning how to control angry feelings is a vital aspect of healthy social and emotional development.
The Remote Control Anger Control™ game is a set of four card games that address these findings by focusing on three essential skills for controlling anger:
PAUSE and identify additional feelings.
REWIND and learn from past mistakes.
FAST FORWARD and think ahead about potential consequences.
All players practice all three skills during the course of the game. In addition to practicing the three skills, players practice planning ahead and social skills as well as exercising frustration tolerance.
Playing time: Flexible–from 25 minutes to 50 minutes.
