Getting Along When I’m Angry
“Anger is a feeling that all children experience. An infant’s hungry cry, a toddler’s temper tantrum, a preschooler’s angry push, a school-ager’s hurtful taunt, or a teenager’s hostility are all vivid reminders that anger is no stranger to childhood. Anger is part of life. Sometimes life hurts. Sometimes life is not fair. All children will experience anger in one way or another. And all children will learn how to cope with their anger-sometimes in a way that is “helpful” and sometimes in a way that is “hurtful.”
Teaching children how to handle their anger when they are young will pay off in dividends when they grow up. And it’s funny how each child can handle it differently.
Britt is more like her father. It takes a lot to set her off. Come to think about it, I don’t know if I have ever seen her get angry.
But her brother explodes, won’t listen to anyone and storms off to his bedroom (when he lived with us). Unfortunately that leaves room for a lot of things being said in the heat of the moment.
Funny how they grow up really fast when they move out on their own!
