Calm & Confident: Helping Kids Navigate Anger
Online Self-Pace Course
Lifetime Access
Anger in children is often misunderstood, but what if we saw it as a cry for connection? This online course, inspired by the pioneering work of Dr. Dan Siegel and rooted in the biopsychosocial approach, is designed to help parents, and social, care, health, and education professionals support children in understanding and managing anger.
Throughout this course, we will explore children's behaviours through a holistic lens, examining the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to anger. You'll learn to see beyond the surface of challenging behaviours and develop a compassionate approach to helping children navigate their emotional experiences.
You will receive a Certificate of Attendance, a copy of worksheets and lifetime access to all materials.
What you will learn
We know how challenging it can be for children to deal with the overwhelming rush of anger they often feel, and that's exactly why we've put together this webinar together for you.
This online course provides you with practical techniques, rooted in psychological research and child development theories, that pave the way for understanding and managing intense emotions. The way we see it, the key is to create strategies that are not just effective but can be seamlessly integrated into daily routines, making it second nature for kids to approach life with more confidence.
This online course is designed to be super user-friendly and accessible – everything is explained in detail so no previous knowledge is required, building up the tools and skills in a manner that feels progressive and encouraging.
Join us for a transformative online course where we dive into understanding the roots of anger in children. We’ll explore what’s really behind those intense moments - whether it’s unmet needs, frustration, sensory overload or emotional dysregulation. You'll gain insights into how ADHD, anxiety and trauma can play a role in triggering anger, helping you pinpoint what’s going on beneath the surface.
We’ll also reframe anger from being just a behavioural issue to seeing it as a child's way of reaching out for connection. Inspired by Dan Siegel’s work on attachment and neurobiology, we'll show how anger often signals unmet emotional needs. This shift in perspective can be a game-changer in how you respond to challenging behaviours.
In this online course, you’ll walk away with practical strategies for helping kids manage their anger constructively. From mindfulness exercises and breathing techniques to physical outlets, we’ll cover a range of tools to help children safely express and channel their emotions.
We’ll also focus on the power of communication and empathy. You’ll learn how to use empathetic listening and validation to de-escalate anger, acknowledging a child's feelings without judgment to build trust and reduce conflict.
Plus, we'll discuss setting healthy boundaries around anger, teaching you when to step in, how to set limits without punishment, and ways to support emotional release while ensuring safety. Lastly, we’ll share preventative techniques to minimize anger outbursts by addressing common triggers like hunger, tiredness, and transitions, while fostering resilience and building routines that support a child's emotional well-being.
This online course is packed with actionable insights to help you support children in navigating their anger, turning those tough moments into opportunities for growth and connection.
