Anger Management can change the life of a child or teenager. We can offer them structured help in a form they can understand and feel comfortable with. Our children often blame themselves for problems in the family. When they address this the huge weight of anger and shame can lift from their shoulders. Sometimes we will suggest you all work together as a family. Your children can:
- Learn how to change their angry behaviour
- Learn to express feelings rather than act them out
- Learn how to ask for what they want
- Learn to empathise
- Practice new ways of doing things
- Learn new ways of looking at things
- Have the opportunity to deal with their personal anger issues in depth
Many parents and carers contact us about their children having anger issues. We believe that angry feelings "tell me something is wrong". Your child may believe something is wrong at home or at school. We are currently working both with individual children and families in a time of need, in situations where their anger and angry behaviour is getting out of control. We are helping them make big changes in their lives.
This can be the start of a process of healing in the family. In the first session we will talk through your concerns, get some detail on your child’s behaviour and try and work out a strategy for helping him or her, while not labelling him " a problem". Often, by modelling different behaviour parents/carers can themselves help a child calm everything down and start to feel happier, more peaceful and less angry and hurt. Starting this work may be a relief for all the family as you realise there can be a way forward.
