Parent Questions Answered: Can you tell me about handling anger in kids?

A parent recently asked me, “Why should I accept my child's angry (even violent) outbursts when society won't?” Here’s my response. And remember: We want our kids to have a felt sense that feeling anger is an okay and even healthy human emotion. But, they are also responsible for their behavior--they just can't get to that point until they're developmentally ready. So our job is to help them by co-regulating, while providing parameters that allow them to not do damage while they're in that state. And as development unfolds, we are then better able to have conversations with them, and to help them regulate emotions while developing strategies for the next time big feelings come up. I hope this helps! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Thanks for watching!
