Episode notes
Consequences Don't Solve Anger
- Consequences alone can’t eliminate a child’s anger or frustration and can deepen their feelings of helplessness.
- Children lash out as a signal that their underlying pain and emotions need attention, not punishment.
Address Parental Influence on Anger
- Investigate if a child's anger stems from witnessing uncontrolled anger or criticism from a parent, especially a father.
- Validate your child’s feelings about parental anger and don’t fear addressing these harmful dynamics openly.
Check Physical Health Causes
- Examine physical health issues like food allergies, gut problems, eczema, or PANS/PANDAS as sources of children's anger.
- Consult specialists in gut health or functional medicine to address underlying physical causes.
