The anger scale Asher developed last fall has thankfully gone by the wayside. Although his temper can rise quickly, he has either learned how to label his feelings differently or is better able to calm himself down when his blood starts to boil.
I don't take a lot of credit for that other than to point to my intense prayers asking for divine intervention!
Even though I can't claim to have used all of the techniques I listed, my most recent Hearts at Home column lists several ideas of ways to teach children how to manage their anger.
Just thought I would share the ideas here because truthfully, these calming methods work just as well for adults as they do for kids.
