The Salvation Army’s Red Cap Anger Management Program for children ages 8 to 12.

One of the most common causes of anger for school-aged children is bullying. Whether a child is being bullied or they are bullying others, the behaviour and the cause usually stem from the same factor, anger.

Although Red Cap deals with younger students, the program serves as a great tool for learning how to control emotions and prevent future episodes of bullying. Different games, activities, and tools enhance lessons on how to manage anger. The most significant being the “traffic light system”.

“I was able to see my son put the lessons he was learning into practice during the day.”

“Using our traffic light, we learned that the goal when we’re angry is to…Red – Stop and calm down; Yellow – Think of a plan; Green – Problem solve wisely”.  “Working through all those games gives them opportunities because not everyone is going to win and that can be triggering for some kids. So, we’re giving them opportunities to put into practice what we’re talking about in that moment.”
