Children are supported to recognise anger early, calm their bodies, think before reacting, and choose a safer response. The poster uses bright illustrations and simple wording to make anger management strategies easy for younger children to understand and remember.
The main section is organised around five practical choices: take deep breaths, count to 10, use words not hands, take a cool-off break, and think of a solution. Each step includes a short prompt, such as breathing in slowly, saying how you feel and what you need, or asking, “What can I do differently?”
A clear “what not to do” section helps children understand unsafe or unhelpful reactions, including hitting, kicking, pushing, yelling, breaking things, and keeping feelings bottled up. The message stays reassuring by reminding children that anger is a normal feeling and that what matters is what they do next.
Parents, carers, primary school teachers, social workers, counsellors, and family support practitioners could use the one-page poster at home, in classrooms, calm corners, therapy rooms, or direct work sessions. It is especially suited to primary-aged children who benefit from visual reminders, emotional regulation prompts, and simple coping skills for big feelings.
The “Remember” framework, notice it, calm it, think first, solve it, gives adults a quick shared language to use during or after an angry moment. Created by Edita Stiborova, the poster offers a practical and approachable way to support children with self-control, problem-solving, and safer behaviour choices.
