Common conclusions
If your kids are in the middle of an outburst, you should try to talk and help them put their anger into words so that you can understand what makes them upset. Do not speak if they are still whining about knowing that they can only gain your attention if they calm down.
When your kids talk to you about what’s wrong or what they want, consider listening and responding and make them feel you understand them. Try to comfort and tell them that resorting to strong emotions is not an excuse for bad behavior.
Having house rules will help your kids know what you expect from them. Be clear about it and avoid using threats or any putdowns.
you need to build coping mechanisms that can help your kids learn new things about how to deal with anger. Tell your kids it’s okay to walk away from situations for a while and work on calming down. Help them find a way to get the anger out, like jumping jacks in the backyard or drawing and writing what they feel.
Sleep is essential for their overall mood. Lack of sleep may make them hyper and disagreeable. Make sure they are getting enough sleep based on their age and needs.
You should encourage your kids to participate in sports as it may help keep their temper under control. Just make sure not to overdo it, as too much play can burn off their energy and create stress.
You should try not to be rigid and neglect them if they want something from you. It is important to let your kids win one sometimes. For instance, if they're going to play longer, try to give them ten more minutes to do it.
Staying mindful of their needs contributes significantly to their temper. It’s okay to say no if the things they want are harmful to them, but try to make them understand why.
