I don't know if this will be helpful for your child or anyone else's child here but my dd and I are going through therapy. My dd experienced something that no child should go through recently and is getting help for it.
But anyways, in group therapy, we learned to manage our outbursts by using superhero figurines. Our therapist would leave many different superheros figurines on table for each child to pick then explain that whenever a superhero feels really upset from a situation, and ask children in the group, what do superhero do with their anger? The children would say, "Batman will stop joker from blasting city" or "Spiderman will dive and save the girl from hitting the ground" etc... then the therapist would say something like this, thats right, remember you all have your super power, so when you get angry, what do you do? Then the children would say, "give my sister a hug if she fall and hurt her butt" or etc. It really did help my daughter and it helped me a lot too. I mean, whenever I get upset, I would immediately go back to the group therapy and think of that bat girl figurine and told myself to calm down and do the right thing.
