Anger management and parenting

I ran a workshop on anger management recently, and it happened to be many parents in the room to this day. One thing that me was surprised the need of anger management strategies in dealing with children. This article is trying to solve problem facing parents so very often.

First of all I would like to clarify, I understand the term: anger management for parents. Often, children can be a source of anger and frustration for their parents in particular. Let's face it, it can be very difficult to manage your anger to your children. You seem able to be our buttons and are not always useful.

Learn how to say no

Many parents know not only how you say, no, to their children. Many parents want to think for some reason of itself as the best friend of her child. A quick Newsflash - your child not best friend needs a parent. And a good parent knows how, say no is not desired for their child and risk. It's really hard for parents to say no to their children, that you not only know how it reacts. But... What is more important - liked are or will be met by your child? And if your child will able you to point of view be better from developmental biology. This is a very clear message from the research.

To say no is essentially as assertive and to bring the issue to a head. Everyone knows where they stand.

Specific assertive strategies

Really, the strategies not of assertive differ in other aspects of life. For example, if someone on one crosses your boundaries, and there is a problem for you, then you need to fix it. It is no different with your children. The big difference at home is that your kids ever cross your borders because they want to, can see what they get away with. It is imperative that you the assertiveness strategies to follow. What are they? As in the previous article explained the main steps include:

(1) Be identified, if you a personal limit has been exceeded

(2) Address it by the assertive

(3) Continue to monitor your environment

How does this the home environment translate? Or how your children should respond to a page ranking manure from home cross? Say for example. Her child was their younger brother beat up or throw food at the kitchen table. This may cause that some negative reaction in you and will be a page ranking manure cross for you.

It is important that you address it with your child. But instead of focusing on what they did wrong, they make about you. You tell them that is why it is a problem for you, and why it made that bother you. It's probably a 90% chance that they be repeated the behavior once again. This is not the point. The point is that you have managed to deal with your anger and able to deal with them in a balanced way.

Anger management for parents is not different from anger management for bosses or anger management in romantic relationships. The same principles apply. If you have a problem, you must fix it. It's so easy.
