Only give as much help as is really needed. The best results will come as the child does the mental and emotional exploring. Teach your child anger control. Building self-control can be a major source of pride for your child. I'll be addressing anger management, in length, in a future newsletter article but for now, here is one technique that works at all ages.
Anger is a right brain response.
If you teach your child to do a left brain behavior as soon as the anger is felt, the anger starts to go away. It is an automatic response. The quickest left brain activity you can teach a child, or adult, is to count to 10, or 100, or to whatever it takes. The old advice of counting to 10 when you felt angry works and now we have the scientific evidence as to why. You are a good person.
