Anger

It can be a tricky emotion to deal with, not only as a parent but as a child too. There are so many preconceived notions about it, and the place it has in today’s society.

One thing we do know, is that it actually has a really vital reason to exist. “It is a natural response to frustration, injustice or threat, and can motivate us to take action to protect ourselves or to stand up for what we believe in” (Dr Mayank Saxena, 2023) The complicated thing about anger, is that if it’s not expressed in a healthy way, it can lead to violence, aggression and long-term relationship issues.

But, how can we teach children to express anger in a healthy way? One of the biggest keys, is learning to manage OUR anger in a healthy way, so that our children have the opportunity to see it.

Practicing mindfulness, reflection and deep breathing are all great tools when it comes to managing anger, we talk about these extensively in our Tuning In To Kids program.
