Angry Social Story

Angry Social Story. Understanding and Managing Emotions | SEND & Autism

Support children with SEND to develop their understanding of anger with this accessible and visual social story.

This resource explores what anger might look like and how different people may experience and express feeling angry. Using simple, accessible language and Widgit symbols, the story helps children recognise some of the signs that they may be feeling angry.

The resource takes a neuroaffirming approach, recognising that anger can be communicated and expressed in different ways.

The story also explores what children can do when they feel angry, introducing calming and regulation strategies that can help them feel safer, more comfortable and ready to move forward.

This social story can be used alongside sensory activities, visual supports and adult modelling to help children develop an understanding of anger and explore positive ways to regulate when emotions feel overwhelming.

A visual, accessible and neuroaffirming resource to help children understand anger and explore strategies they can use to calm and regulate.
