Giving your child focused attention is a great way to prevent anger. Plan a day or afternoon to spend with each child, making him or her feel like the most important person in the world. I know a single mom of three who takes each of her teens out on a date once a week. This gives each child a chance to have all Mom's attention. After an outburst, give your child time to work through her feelings.
Many parents interpret their children's silence as disrespect or hostility.
But teenagers need time to pull themselves together just as adults do. When you are with your child, do not pressure her to respond to you. Just be ready to listen when the child opens up. Let your children verbally express anger. Parents must remember that anger comes out in two ways verbally or behaviorally.
