from “Discipline and the Difficult Child”.

*Teach the children they can tighten their fist for one minute as tight as they can make it and then open the hand and blow the anger away. Cathy Chapman

* Show two open hands with fingers spread wide in front of the face and then place your hands on your hips to let the kids know you are angry.

* Purchase a Beanie Baby Crab and when you are angry put the bean bag on the overhead projector to let the class know you are upset.

* Use your open hand to hit your close fist on the other hand similar to trying to get the ketchup out of the bottle.
