Q: How can I control my (my child´s) anger?
Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 3
)
Pleasant Imagery
Pleasant Imagery - One way to lessen our anger and relax is to keep in mind a pleasant thought. Because I enjoy gardening, I like to envision myself going into a beautiful garden and admiring the flowers. You will have to come up with an imagery that allows you the same pleasantry as my imaginary garden does.
Teach Self Consequences
Teach Self Consequences - This technique is particularly helpful for children and teenagers who often do not "think out" the consequences of their actions. You simply fill in the blanks to this statement: "If I _____, then _____ will happen." ("If I run into the back of the slow driving car in front of me, then I will most likely be arrested."). By logically thinking through the situation, we are able to better control our anger.
Using Language
Language is often the key to controlling anger. Because language is centered in the frontal cortex of the brain and emotions are centered in the middle part of the brain, called the limibic system, language helps move us from the emotion part of our brain to the thinking part of our brain. The old saying of "When angry, remember to count to 10 first before acting" actually has merit. Young children do this naturally if you watch them at play. They talk out loud to themselves often as they work through frustrating and difficult situations.
