How do you handle anger? I know some people who opt for a quiet walk alone until the angry feeling in them subside and come back and settle the issue. I also know few people who handle their anger by swearing, cursing and throwing things (and later regret the action).
I found a site that tells about a book: Parents Do Make A Difference: How to Raise Kids with Solid Character, Strong Minds, and Caring Hearts written for parents who want to handle anger issue with their children. The site lists down 6 ideas of the author on how to teach the kids to handle their anger.
I like the first and the second step. As a parent we have to show good example on how we as adult handle the situation which make us angry. Only then our children will learn on how to handle anger when forced to face the crisis. The second step is more like teaching the kids who throw tantrum and express their anger by yelling and screaming on the floor. What the parents could do is to let the child knows that things could only be settled once she/he calms down.
I’m sure this ideas would also help to train angry adults as well..haha! If you could muster the guts and duck the thrown things first..hehe!
