Abstract

This project focuses on developing tailored anger management skills for elementary school children, specifically targeting 11-year-old African-American boys in a low-income community at the Village Project in Seaside, California. The primary goal is to address the urgent need for these children to acquire effective anger regulation abilities, considering the potential impact of uncontrolled anger on their well-being and relationships. Many of these boys have faced adversity, including exposure to gang-related violence and drug involvement, emphasizing the critical necessity for mastering emotional regulation. The project is structured around three key facets: competent anger management, adept expression of anger, and integrating mindfulness techniques. Through a pedagogical approach involving carefully crafted instructional sessions, the project aims to nurture positive behavioral responses, enhancing social interactions with peers and adults. This endeavor seeks to provide a structured methodology to empower these children in cultivating essential skills for effective anger management, guiding them toward more balanced lives. In conclusion, this project focuses on tailoring anger management skills to benefit elementary school children, specifically targeting 11-year-old boys in the low-income community at the Village Project in Seaside, California.
