Positively, as an empowering, masculine emotion that commands respect and attention. Neither of course, is right. We should look at anger instead as a normal emotion that can be useful if used appropriately. Parents can help counteract this by establishing rules for appropriate expression of anger. Kids need to know that while feeling angry is ok, it s what you do with that anger that can get them in trouble.
Parents can be a good role model for their children in appropriately expressing anger.
For a child prone to fighting, insist that he learn how to resolve conflicts without physical force. And reinforce effective ways of promoting self-control at home.
