Try this next time you want to yell at your kids #therapist #kids #anger #angermanagement #selfhelp

Sometimes it can feel almost impossible to not yell at your children. But yelling leads to disruption and a breakdown in communication. Your children will remember those angry emotions and nonverbal expressions, and they can do damage to your relationship. It is important to point out to your children their actions, because sometimes they are not consciously aware of what they are doing. It is important to point out their feelings, because they may not be aware of them. They may be reacting to their feelings, but not aware of them. Help your children stay in touch with their thoughts and feelings. Once this is established, let them know your expectations and work together to develop ways to find other options instead of breaking the rules. End with connection. Tell your children you love them no matter what. Give them a hug.
