Anger- how to deal with it


My son deals often with this and it often comes out in violent form- oh yes I have been hit - even bruised- scratched- chairs thrown at me- and yet I still press on and keep going with working with him-so lets look by definition what anger is:

–noun
1.
a strong feeling of displeasure and belligerence aroused by a wrong; wrath; ire.

you see with my son- he was not taught how to deal with his anger in a proper manner when he was younger before I adopted him- so it is taken many many hours how to work through ager control- we have so far and still have far to go - let me go over some things that may work for you
- sometimes they do not know what causes the anger- this is something I had to learn and still am learning

-learn ways to deal with it- have the kids count to 10 and you do it as well- trust me when you count with them it will help with how you handle things in the future regardless of how they are handling things

- take deep cleansing breaths- it work it truly does- this helps them as well as you
- rip paper
- scribble paper
- write sentences- this refocuses them
- have them sit by themselves until they cool off
-hold them -hug them- let them know it is ok to be angry but how they handle it is important
- have them write why they are angry

these are some ways that have gotten us through some dark times- not all the time working- so you may have to do a variety of things to get through a tough time of dealing with anger-
