[This course will take you about 1hour 50mins to complete.]

All children and young people will experience strong emotions, including anger. It is natural for everyone to experience anger from time to time, but it can become a problem when it leads to behaviour that is harmful or unhelpful, negatively affecting the child and/or other people. Some children and young people may not have the tools to process the emotion of anger in a healthy way. This can be stressful for them and for you as their foster carer.

In this course, we will look at the potential factors behind a foster child's anger, ways to respond to it, and how you can help them find alternative ways to express and work through their feelings.

In this course, we look at:
- What anger is and possible causes
- The escalation of anger
- Building emotional regulation and de-escalation techniques
- How to support young children, teens, and those with additional needs
