Expressing anger is a healthy emotion. It is a part of life.

Children gradually develop ways to manage their big emotions, but they need help from their parents. It can be challenging to see your child act out with aggression, so it is important to not respond with anger.

Some helpful tools from Daniel Siegal’s book, No Drama Discipline, uses three questions to help any parent when confronted with an upset child.

• Why is my child behaving this way?
• What do I want to teach my child?
• How do I teach them?

For more helpful suggestions, please read the article below to learn more ways to respond to your child.
