YOUR TEEN AND ANGER
Mother, Baby & Child|October 2022
Teenage anger can be a challenge to manage. In this article, we look at what you can do to help your teen deal with their anger.
YOUR TEEN AND ANGER

At one time or another, all teenagers experience anger and may even lash out. This can usually be attributed to their lack of experience expressing themselves and having to work through intense emotions. While it is a natural part of growing up, there are things we can do as parents, to help our teens manage their emotions and to prevent them from getting themselves into trouble.

SEE WHERE THEY’RE COMING FROM

Anger is a particularly difficult emotion for teens to contend with. It can be much more powerful than the other emotions that they experience. If your teen doesn’t know how to manage this feeling, they may get overwhelmed and act out. Even in the most difficult times, it’s important to try to look past these outbursts and to find the root cause. Behind the anger they’re showing, they may be feeling sad, frustrated or insulted. Once the spike of anger has passed, have a chat with your teen and try to get to the bottom of the emotions together. Put yourself in their shoes and offer suggestions for how to better express their feelings before they transform into anger.

ANGER IS A VALID EMOTION
