5. Thinking Ahead
A way of controlling anger in conflict by predicting the likely future consequences of current behavior.
This is the “C” in the A-B-C model (consequence). You will think about the “C” before you do the “B” (behavior).
Use “If…then…” statement
Example: “If I get in trouble again, I will be kicked off diversion.”
Short-term and Long-term consequences

6. Self- Evaluation A way for you to :
Judge for yourself how well you handled a situation
Reward yourself for handling a situation well (Self-Reward)
Help yourself find out how you could have handled it better (Self-Coach)
Complete the Self-Evaluation grid in your Anger Control packet.

7. Self-Evaluation Self-Reward Self-Coach I kept really cool.
I was in control of myself.
I used deep breathing well.
I did a good job recognizing my cues.
Great job staying calm and not yelling.
I need to pay attention to my cues next time.
I shouldn’t let it get to me.
I need to think about my consequences.
I shouldn’t make such a big deal out of it.
I can control myself better than that.

8. Skillstreaming Skills in place of aggression
Interrupt the Anger Control Cycle – Use a Skillstreaming Skill to replace the aggressive behavior “B”.
We will learn how to use Skillstreaming Skills along with the Anger Control Cycle.
Think about a conflict situation in your life, identify a Skillstreaming Skill that could have helped you in that situation. Role play the scenario with a partner.

9. Anger Provoking Behavior
Anger provoking behaviors are things YOU do that make others around you angry.
Examples-calling someone a name, making fun of someone, talking back
During the anger control cycle, we should acknowledge that we engage in these behaviors when we are angry. We can use the “Reminders” or “Thinking Ahead” steps to acknowledge these behaviors and remind ourselves not to engage in them.
Examples:
Reminder: “I don’t want to yell back at my mother and make her more angry”
Thinking Ahead: “If I yell at my mother, then she’ll get angry and I’ll be grounded.”
