How to Talk to the Angry Child
Description
What do you say to your child when they are angry? How do you react? How does it make YOU feel to see and hear their anger?
In this second episode of Season 1 (Learning a New Parenting Language), Ali explores what makes fizzy kids angry, how those big feelings can present as big behaviours and shares some ideas about how to talk to the anger (and the Angry Child) in a different way.
It's so easy to take our child's anger personally and to react to their Caveman 'fight mode' with our own 'fight mode' - the result is escalated situations and incidents rather than regulated ones. We don't necessarily want to teach our kids to not be angry, we just want them to learn to be angry in the right way.
Further episodes will focus on ideas for a new parenting language for the Anxious Child, Ashamed Child, Rude Child and more!
