Anger Management Helps Us Parent Better

Anger is a natural emotion, one that we all experience. Some of us might handle our anger well, while some of may become easily ticked off, furious or enraged. Like I always say, all emotions are allowed. How we handle our emotions, that’s where the work in us begins.

Anger management can significantly contribute to improved parenting by fostering a healthier and more positive family environment.

• Does your child get upset easily and lose their control?

• Does your child throw things at you in anger?

• Do you yell, slam doors or resort to threats and punishment?

• Do feelings of guilt and shame override you afterwards?

• Does your child’s whole body thrash as they throw themselves on the floor or run away from you?

• Do you want to run away too?

How we manage our own anger teaches our child how to manage their own, especially during challenging situations and times of stress.

There are many action steps we can take to manage our anger and be the change we wish to see in our child’s ability to manage their anger.
