Recognizing and Managing Anger

It's important to recognize the signs of rising annoyance when children act up, as this awareness can prevent a negative escalation. Parents often become frustrated and start mentally rehearsing grievances, which can fuel anger and lead to an explosive reaction. By taking a moment to notice these feelings, parents can implement strategies such as deep breathing to interrupt the cycle of frustration and regain composure. This proactive approach enables them to respond to their children's needs rather than reacting out of anger, ultimately fostering a better parent-child relationship.
