Managing Anger: RETHINK

Anger is a common emotion that parents may experience at times. It can surface when parents must deal with their children’s difficult behaviors. This workshop teaches parents how to deal with anger in positive ways. Through the RETHINK method, parents learn to:

• Identify constructive and destructive anger.
• Develop better relationships with their children.
• Use appropriate discipline strategies.
• Understand children’s behavior at different ages.
• Manage anger more effectively.

This workshop was developed by the Mental Health Initiatives.
