ANGRY
Anger can feel strong and overwhelming, showing up as tight muscles, loud voices, or stomping feet. It signals that something feels unfair or upsetting, and with support, kids can learn safe ways to handle these big feelings.
Tips for Parents
🌟 Name the Emotion
Help your child recognize anger by saying:
"It looks like you're feeling really angry. I see your tight fists and serious face."
🌟 Stay Calm Together
Speak softly and stay close. Offer space if needed, but stay nearby so your child knows it’s safe to cool down.
🌟 Talk About It Later
Once calm, gently ask:
"What made you feel angry?"
This helps kids connect feelings to actions without shame.
Bonus Tip:
If anger gets very big:
Offer a safe way to release energy, like squeezing a pillow or running outside.
Teach that all feelings are okay — it's what we do with them that matters.
