Anger Management For Students

Anger is a warning emotion. It is typically used to respond to danger, but it is also a form of self-expression and, in some cases, a child's way of declaring independence. Many things can incite a child's rage, which can sometimes lead to aggression. When children reach kindergarten age, their anger usually does not explode into aggression because they have learned to control such impulsive urges. Parents can expect more subtle forms of aggression as their children reach school age, such as pouting, sulking, and whining. Young children, it turns out, have a lot to be angry about. They're small. They are not permitted to do everything they desire. Many of the things they try fail. Bigger people tell them what to do, and since those people are also stronger, they can make them do it.

It's never too early to start teaching your child how to control her anger so that it doesn't control her. However, keep in mind that these strategies are difficult for young children to master. Your child will require your assistance—as well as plenty of practise: There are five strategies that parents and teachers can use or apply to manage the issue of anger in their child or students.

Ms. Charu Baweja, our mentor, will be discussing these strategies and much more about anger management for children in an upcoming webinar.
