Helping Parents Succeed
Anger in your child could also be due to certain provocations that they are facing with. Besides, these anger-causing factors differ from child to child. Every human has a certain specific cause which can cause anger in him or her and these are unique to every individual.
Therefore, it is not possible to categorize any particular factor or factors as the main anger triggers in your child. But nevertheless, here are a few common causes responsible for triggering anger in your child.
Sometimes parents feel that children don’t have a right to express their anger or frustration and they’ll instead term it a tantrum. It’s important to realize though that tantrums are the juvenile way of releasing pressure. Whereas grownups might swear, yell, stomp feet and throw things – and come to think of it, that is a tantrum – children are rarely afforded the same opportunity without getting into trouble for their behavior.
For angry children, validation goes a long way to calming their behavior. Showing your child that you understand why she is upset and trying to resolve it with her demonstrates that you are on her side. As adults, we should be mature enough to not throw a tantrum in response – “Will you stop whining? I can’t stand it anymore.”
