FIRED UP: A Proactive Approach for Handling Childhood Anger

Mar 21, 2025

by Jeff Sosne, Ph.D.

Do you need help putting out the fires set by your child’s anger?

Helping children with anger is all about taking a proactive, preventative approach. We need to understand the nature of the child’s anger and proactively address the factors that might be causing or contributing to the problem.

This program will teach you how to identify and address the seven most common anger sparks that get children FIRED UP: Frustrations, Interruptions, Request Refusals, Expectations, Disappointments, Unfairness, and Provocations.

Dr. Sosne is a licensed psychologist who has worked with children for more than four decades.
