DISCUSSION POINTS & OTHER RESOURCES
DISCUSSION POINTS:
The Anger Volcano is a valuable resource that uses visual analogies to help children understand and
manage intense emotions.
Inside the volcano, the magma represents not just anger but a mix of many emotions bubbling
beneath the surface. Just as real magma is a combination of various molten materials, the emotions
inside us can include, frustration, sadness, fear, guilt, or disappointment, to mention a few.
As in a real volcano, if not managed, the pressure increases until it erupts, symbolizing an outburst
of anger.
The anger volcano analogy can also help kids understand that what we see as anger may be other
feelings that manifest as anger, or a combination of different feelings mixed together:
Are they feeling frustrated because they can’t understand a maths problem?
Are they ashamed about something they did?
Are they hurt because they feel left out?
Are they just scared about something?
Do they feel they’ve been wronged?
