Addressing a child’s anger can be quite a task. After consulting a child psychologist, it became clear to me that anger in children isn’t merely a negative emotion.
It often indicates deeper issues, such as feeling hurt or unfairly treated.
Think of a time when you were really angry. It made sense to you then, didn’t it?
It’s vital to teach kids to express anger in a healthy manner. Here are the key phrases parents should use with their angry kids:
“I understand why this upsets you, and I’m here for support.”
For us as adults, anger might not be a big issue, but for kids, it can be intense and seem very unjust. Showing that you understand and are there to support them is crucial. This helps kids process their emotions in a healthier way.
