The aim of this study is to understand the feeling of anger that occurs during the grief process of children exposed to natural disasters and to help them manage their anger. The feeling of anger experienced after a natural disaster is much higher and more complex than the feeling of anger experienced under normal conditions. Because uncontrollable anger behaviors lie upon pain, loneliness, sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, the needs for love and trust, and the inability to meet the most basic needs such as eating, drinking and shelter. This situation creates a serious sense of frustration, especially in adolescents and children. Children might harm both themselves and their environment with their uncontrolled anger behavior, Psychosomatic diseases may occur in children who suppress their anger. For these reasons, children and adolescents need to be understood and supported. If the feeling of anger experienced during the grief process after a natural disaster is too strong to be controlled, anger management training programs can be provided by people who are competent in their field such as empathy training, non-violent communication skills training, creative drama training.
