Children learn what they live. If you find that you are reacting in unhealthy ways to your anger perhaps its time to make some positive changes. Read a book on anger control, take a class or join a support group. When you control your anger its easier to teach your children how to control theirs. Affirm your love.
Kids often judge themselves harshly after a bout with anger.
They feel guilty, ashamed and unloved. Let your child know that your love is unconditional. Your child needs to know that even when you are unhappy with his actions, you still love him. This is especially important when your child's anger has been directed at you. Parent Tips newsletters may be copied for distribution throughout your school or organization for non-profit use only.
