Understanding Anger
Children watch very closely at the way parents handle anger. Anger is an inevitable emotion, and must be expressed (hopefully in healthy ways), otherwise the emotion will build-up and eventually be expressed in aggressive or passive-aggressive ways. New scientific information on brain development provides parents with a special opportunity to understand how anger is processed in the brain and how to teach children to understand and manage anger in healthy ways.Scientists have recently found using brain scans of live brains during highly emotional times, like when expressing anger, that there are amazing new insights into what's happening in a child's head during an angry exchange. Children can be taught at a very early age what's happening inside them when they get angry, how to understand it and manage it more effectively. Role-modeling how to express anger in healthy ways is very important for parents. A child's memory bank and the interpretations of those memories will be full of information about how the adults closest to them handle anger.
It's important for parents to learn to remain calm and find additional healthy ways to express anger.
