    Anger Management in Children

    Anger is a normal emotion in children that requires guidance and management from a young age. When children get angry, they express it through their behavior rather than being able to identify the feeling. Finding effective anger management techniques may require testing different methods since not all children respond the same way. Fun activities, games, worksheets and encouraging children to talk about their feelings can help teach anger management skills at a young age in a way that doesn't feel like work to the child. The approach needs to be tailored to the individual child's ability to understand and communicate.

    Anger Management in Children

    Anger, a normal emotion, can transform into something painful and ugly. First
    thoughts of anger issues may bring about images of a couple fighting, a parent
    abusing a child, a teenager lashing out at a teacher or a parent. Rarely will
    images of angry children come to mind. Unfortunately children, at very young ages,
    have to deal with feelings of anger and rage. This is a truth which is often
    difficult to understand or manage.

    Children, young children especially, aren't normally aware of how they feel. When a
    child becomes upset or mad they simply show these emotions through their behavior.
    A good example of this might be the little boy in the supermarket who throws a
    tantrum because he's upset. Many parents have had to deal with similar situations.
    It is unfortunate that often times these occurrences are overlooked or dismissed
    because they are "just children". Anger management in children is as important, or
    perhaps even more important than anger management in adults.

    A child requires instruction and guidance from their coming into the world to their
    entry into adulthood. The things they learn throughout their young lives are likely
    to form the person they become as an adult. For this reason anger management in
    children with difficulties controlling their temper is extremely important. Finding
    ways to teach anger management in children might present challenges.

    There are programs designed specifically for children with anger management issues.
    Finding one that works for a particular child might require testing many methods.
    Not all children will respond to the same treatments for anger management in
    children. Because a child cannot always relate their feelings surrounding angry
    outburst, finding the right approach may take some time. Until the issue is
    resolved or at least controlled, it is imperative to continue the search.

    Young children may respond well to worksheets, games and fun activities. All of
    these can be used effectively to teach anger management in children. Developing
    programs which incorporate each of these might be the best route to take. A child
    completing a worksheet, coloring sheet or participating in games and activities
    with underlying messages regarding anger management, may not even realize they are
    working on their problem. Making the activity fun doesn't mean that the anger issue
    has to be left out. Choosing fun activities which teach healthy interaction and
    decision making might be good for anger management in children. Teaching them to
    take turns and helping them to learn that they can't always be the best or the
    winner would definitely make a difference when confrontational situations arise.
    Little activities which instill values and positive thinking would be beneficial
    for anger management in children.

    If a child is old enough to talk about their anger problem, encouraging them to
    share their feelings is important. Suggesting they talk to someone who they feel
    comfortable with and trust is a good idea regarding anger management in children.
    Asking them to write or draw about their emotions may be able to help disclose
    their underlying issues, whether fear, hurt or sadness. Teaching them to ask for
    help when they feel threatened or angry would certainly help the child with a
    problem. The important detail to realize when considering anger management in
    children are they are just "children". Their minds are not equipped to handle big
    people situations and so they will require a more careful approach.
