Role modeling anger management

By Karina Narduzzi, B.A., C.A.M.F

As parents we must always be aware that our children are watching what we do. We are, in fact, the primary learning source for our children. We teach our kids how to deal with their anger and stress. It is in fact a learned behavior. If a child learns negative ways of dealing with anger or stress it must be cogitively relearned in a better way. The most successful way to do this is through a cognitive based anger management class.

Parents that behave in a negative way will communicate to their children that those negative actions are ok. These behaviors may include: yelling, throwing things, cussing, being disrespectful towards others, etc. Negative examples of communication may also teach our children that the world is not safe, that adults cannot be trused, and honesty and respect are not valued.

On the other hand, if a parent communicates in a postive way they will get a postive result. one example is, by working together as a family a parent communicates cooperation. Discussing news and events will communicate citzenship. A parent that tells the truth will communicate to their children that it is important to be honest. By showing our kids by example is the results that we will end up with.
