5 WAYS TO DEAL WITH AN ANGRY CHILD
Keep Calm
If you're busy, stressed and easily
frustrated, either due to
circumstances at home or in the
office, this will have a negative
effect on your child too. If you're
stressed, it is bound to pass onto
their mood too. So it is essential
that you do not let your agitations
get to you.
Make them Aware of their own Emotions
It is very important for you to talk to
your child and ask them to start
expressing emotions which they may
find difficult. By allowing them to
express themselves and be emotionally
aware, this in turn prevents emotions
from building up inside them, ultimately
helping in gradually tapering down the
angry outbursts.
Don’t Get Physically Aggressive
The physical aggression would not
only make the child distance
themselves from you, it has been
shown that children subjected to
physical aggression have more of a
tendency to "rebel" and show anti-
social behaviour as they grow up.
Though the reason for your outburst
may be due to their indiscipline, the
best way, still, is to remain calm.
Explain the Consequences of Poor Behaviour
Your child needs to be told that whilst it is
acceptable to get angry, it is not acceptable
to show aggressive behaviour. For example,
if a child is angry that they were not served
their favourite dish and they start throwing
the cutlery around, tell them calmly, do not
shout, that it is fine to be disappointed at
the dish, but be stern and say it is not
acceptable to throw the cutlery as it is
dangerous and poor behaviour.
Recognise and Appreciate Improvement
Whilst they do say that praising your
child and rewarding them consistently
can lead to a sense of pampering and
poor parenting, it is not necessarily
the case, anything in the right
proportions is not bad. Do not start
materialising their improved
behaviour by awarding expensive
gifts or more TV time as this in turn
can have its consequences,
particularly if they keep demanding
more and you "do not keep your
word".
