I suppose this made me think about my own experiences in childhood and how my parents behaved when they were angry with me. I think many parents don't have the tools to manage anger and I love what you've said here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136592372012307436.post-33295086493289966162011-12-26T03:54:24.408-08:002011-12-26T03:54:24.408-08:00Wow..

I'm no expert, such as the 2 wonderful commentors before me, but I have realized after all this time that anger has to be recognized, expressed and properly channeled. To this day I struggle<br />With this which is why I teach my child how to use anger positively.Anne @ Green Eggs and Momshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508379806366753702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136592372012307436.post-89653675387828428972011-12-26T03:53:59.133-08:002011-12-26T03:53:59.133-08:00I have seen this in children I know.

If she is doing something she shouldn't I would sit her down and would explain why her actions are not acceptable, it sometimes takes a little time as she is only two and a half, but she is very bright and I know in time I will be able to communicate with her more easily and she will be able to explain her actions more freely.<br />I want my daughter to be able to open up to me and to always be able to let me know what is on her mind without me asking her.<br />All children feel anger sometimes but as stated by Anne once they feel anger jump in and talk to them before they start to feel aggression as that is every parents nightmare, having their child lash out at other children/adults.<br />It's sad as I see this in so many children in today's society and parents are not sure what to do about it.<br />Communication is the key.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136592372012307436.post-48919935757479020262011-12-26T03:30:38.287-08:002011-12-26T03:30:38.287-08:00A great blog.

When able to connect with the origin of the angry feelings the resulting behaviours can disappear. I think the overused term 'anger management' is misleading. It makes the assumption that anger in itself is wrong. This blog explains beautifully why it is not and can be used to connect with children on an emotional level.Deirdre McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355104111088619155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136592372012307436.post-90972019800731981002011-12-26T03:12:04.986-08:002011-12-26T03:12:04.986-08:00As a Psychotherapist I am met with people who are ...As a Psychotherapist I am met with people who are completely out of sink with their feelings and emotions. They do not know how to make contact with ANY of their feelings whether they are positive or negative. When they feel angry, they suppress it. This can often result in self-destructive behaviours or passive aggression toward the 'wrong' target. I think tuning into anger and recognising it is a great start. To then be able to communicate around feelings of anger is positive too. Thanks Anne for sharing your thoughts with us on here. A great blog!Vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798388272772514392noreply@blogger.com
