1. Model healthy behavior. Your kids are watching how you handle your anger – and will emulate it. Parents who display positive changes toward their own anger will soon see their children improve how they manage their personal anger.
2. Guide your child through her anger episodes. Listen to her, take her feelings seriously, but help her deal with the issues and find a resolution. As a parent, you have the final word on what will be done, but your child needs to feel that you think her feelings and ideas are important.
3. Give instruction rooted in unconditional love, positive modeling, and loving guidance.
