Group Discussion

It’s OK for kids to see you angry. The point is they need to understand why.
You need to express your anger in a way that is not threatening or violent.

Talk about it – calm down and explain why you are upset and what you
want.
Stop yelling at your kids – kids experience yelling, harsh words, and
screaming as violence.
• Manage your own emotions – learn ways to calm down so you don’t
yell and scream – when you learn to calm down, your kids will learn to
manage their emotions better as well.

• Set yourself a goal to respond in a calmer voice whenever you are
angry.
• Remember kids are kids, not mini adults, they will make mistakes,
sometimes we all have bad days.
• Take responsibility for your own feelings – if you’re having a bad day,
you don’t have to take it out on your kids, learn to release the anger
and not pass it on.

• When you get angry, stop and take a break. Take deep breaths, walk
away, take time to let your anger calm down – take your own time-out
