How to Raise a Non-Angry Child - Be an Emotional Coach Part 2

As we said in Part 1, parents have a very difficult job: they usually help their children develop their behaviour in order to become valuable people. Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to teach them how to control their anger, in order to be able to have healthy relationships with everyone.

The child needs to know when he is wrong and this is why you should always tell him if he did something bad; try to make him understand that his mistakes can have a lot of consequences, and that sometimes these are long-term consequences - this will help him understand that when he is angry he should be able to manage his anger because his actions could have some bad consequences and this could affect him or other people. Try to make your child think positive: try to teach him how to change negative emotions into positive ones, how to change unpleasant experiences into pleasant ones; anger is a negative thing but if you manage to control it, you can change it into something positive; teach your child how to appreciate people around him, how to appreciate himself, how to recognize when he makes a mistake and how to apologize when he makes a mistake. Try to focus on solutions rather than problems - make your children understand that if something happens, the most important thing is to find a solution. we should always know that life is about problems and that the most important of all is to find the best solutions for the problems.
