We've all felt frustrated, which is one of the worst emotions that most people have. A wish, dream, goal, or hope is disappointed when it can't be realised right now, no matter how hard you try. It's not always the right time and place, as the world shows us.
Because we don't want our kids to be sad, they don't get angry at home very often. Often, we let them win because we don't want them to be sad from having to deal with small losses and setbacks. We don't want to be sad.
But how someone feels as a child affects how they feel in the future. So, dealing with bad feelings today will make the problems they cause less severe later on.
Understanding and controlling bad feelings in a safe place like the family can help our kids learn how to deal with problems and control their feelings, which will help them become emotionally grown and healthy adults.
Why is it important to be able to handle anger in the classroom?
Why is being able to handle anger so important in the classroom? Because one of the strongest feelings, impatience, helps a child build self-esteem by showing him what he's good at and what he needs to work on. Kids can become more resilient by learning how to deal with anger at a young age.
Their bad feelings caused by anger won't control their lives. This keeps kids from thinking if they can have something, if it's worth it, or if they're stupid. Or at least that this child would have learned how to deal with these things and feelings at home.
Kids who have trouble handling anger often feel anxious or hopeless. They also often have behaviour problems, like being mean to things and people, throwing tantrums, being against authority figures, and refusing to do tasks that don't give them pleasure.
As they get older, these kids will see all tasks where they can't be sure of success as risks instead of challenges. They give up on these activities when they fail and focus on others, which might be riskier, like taking in harmful drugs for a short-term high.
You shouldn't make things more difficult, but you also shouldn't try to avoid them either. They have to deal with it. You have to let problems happen during family games, sports, or other activities. We need to help kids get through this tough time by recognising how they feel and giving them options.
It's good to let kids figure things out on their own. It would be unfair to make up for his mistakes because it would take away from his chances to get better at being patient, accepting others, fixing problems, delaying rewards, and being creative.
