Anger Buster Box

Introducing the Anger Buster Box: When you introduce the Anger Buster Box, it is to be introduced as a “tool” for the FAMILY to use when any member of the family experiences anger or frustration. This box is your new “Go To”. It is to be introduced when every family member is feeling calm and grounded. Most families introduce the Anger Buster Box in a family meeting, explaining what it is used for and HOW to use each item. On the next page you’ll find the information regarding each individual item and its purpose. Children learn best by example! When they see Mom, Dad, etc utilize these tools when they feel angry, they will want to also. I know this sounds silly but this sets a tone for working as a team and reminds children that adults have big feelings too and that it is NORMAL. The Anger Buster Box should be placed in an easily accessible area that feels safe for all members of the family. Some kids prefer to make a fort and keep the box in there or under a desk, etc. Whatever works best for your family is okay.

The fine print: Although I have a lot of experience and education, I am not a doctor. I can not diagnose, treat or cure any diseases or disorders and neither will the Anger Buster Box. It is just another “tool” to add to your family tool box when working through difficult emotions. I simply have experience that I want to share with the world. 🙂 Small pieces may be choking hazards for young children.

Directions: To some people, this is a box full of random items. If you do not introduce and implement this box accordingly, it will be just that. However, each item in this box has been carefully selected out of hundreds of options. I have selected items that I have had success with in the classroom and in my home. With consistency and thoughtfulness, I believe this box will become an important staple in your home as well. As I’ve spoken with other educators and specialists, they have all agreed that THESE items can lead to successful de-escalation.
