Do you have a child who seems to be angry all the time or seems to have no control over their anger? Listen to this podcast and learn how to help your child overcome anger and aggressiveness issues safely and effectively. Aggressiveness and anger in children is a rather tricky topic. Firstly, parents or caretakers should work on their own anger issues and management. This will further help them help their children better. Secondly, it is important to understand that anger is an emotion like many others and it is very important to acknowledge this emotion as well. Besides anger, there are several other emotions like jealousy, embarrassment, selfishness, etc., which get called out as negative emotions. I have even heard some caretakers say things like, “I do not want to see you angry again”, “Anger is not good”, etc. These approaches are not really helpful and are used primarily because caretakers or parents do not understand the emotion, its origin or its impact. It is very important for parents to understand that there is nothing bad about these emotions. Moreover, is perfectly normal to have all of them. What is important is to acknowledge these emotions when they come. These are universal and natural emotions after all.
