The Penalty Box is an innovative, hands-on parenting tool, designed by a child psychologist, to help parents redirect their kids or their own anger in a way that is proactive and fun. When tempers flare, someone calls a "penalty" and the person who yelled, randomly draws a card from the Penalty Box, and follows the instructions on the card.
The cards include three categories of research based anger management strategies (52 cards in all- 30 anger management activities, 10 chores and 12 blank cards for families to brainstorm their own ideas). Guidelines as well as a family contract are included.
The Penalty Box can be especially useful if you have a family member who has ADHD, Anxiety, or Autism, or someone who struggles with expressing anger in healthy ways. Designed for use with school age to adult. Laughter has the power to transcend anger!
