How can I control my (my child´s) anger?

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.
