Dealing with Anger
You folks here have never failed me. And, so I ask you the following question in hopes of gaining some in sight into how others handle the same issues. Or how you would if it were an issue.
My oldest son is very gentle and rarely fights back when his younger brother is mean to him. He desires to be liked and does as much as he can to play up to everyone. He wants everyone to like him and he is willing to do whatever he has to in order to be special.
But, the younger child….has a temper that cannot match that of anyone I know. My husband is quiet, humble and rarely raises his voice. And, while I am loud and rambuctious, I am not mean. I want to be liked and I do try to be funny in order to gain attention.
But, Jace, the four-year-old is quite the firecracker. He gets in trouble for something relatively minor but then when he is admonished for him, he turns into a wild animal. He goes to his room as he is instructed but within seconds of his arriving in his room, it’s not uncommon to hear him hitting the wall or throwing toys.
He has been in therapy and to be honest, he isn’t near as bad as he once was so hpefully he will outgrow it but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t just a bit concerned.
So, how do you handle angry children? Not a child in trouble, not the actual act of discipline but the anger that he shows after getting in trouble, how or what would you do? Help me please you are the experts I trust most.
