Yesterday DD (6.5) was very angry and frustrated. She was running around her room yelling and growling, wanting to kick things. She isn't ordinarily like this and I wasn't sure how to support her. I spoke to her saying "I can see you're angry because X has happened" like when she was a tantruming toddler, asked her if she could think of anything that would help but she said no. Then I found some cans and gave her them to jump on, I thought that could help satisfy her urge to be destructive and physical. She was still angry though calming down a bit and didn't want to talk so I suggested she drew how she felt which she did. She calmed down after that. How do you support your child with feelings like this? My DM had serious MH issues so I was never really taught/shown how to experience strong emotions in a healthy way. DM's reaction to anger would have been screaming, throwing things, harming herself, making threats. I never felt able to express a bit emotion in front of her as a result. How do you help support your child through anger?
