Anger Management For Children?

tell her the next time she gets angry to try and become more angry telling herself that she is angry because she enjoys being angry and if she enjoys being angry then she should try to maximize her enjoyment and purposely become more angry to really enjoy it… the conscious at of trying to become more angry to enjoy it more always leads to laughter and a good mood, while the conscious act of trying to be less angry when you are angry tends to make you more worked up and angry til you do explode in rage… this is also why people get worked up when being told to calm down, they say I am calm and others tell them they are not and then things get sort of out of control and hand

Kids can get depressed or bipolar and this will manifest as anger. They also get angry. Let’s face it – it ain’t easy to be 10 years old these days. Is she taking medication? Does her therapist specialize in kids?
Wish i had an answer for you, but my prayers are with this poor little girl.

Anger Management does not always work. In-fact, in some cases it can make the problem worse. My little sister used to go to anger management sessions and counseling. She used to like going, but she did not benefit from it. She used to lie to her counselor and purposely annoy the anger management bloke. In-fact, her stories to her counselor were so severe, we had social services come round conducting investigations. Once they are involved, there is no getting rid of them. She once said to me ” Why the **** would i want to talk to a complete stranger about all the **** going on in my life ? If i wanted to talk to someone about it, i would talk to you ” To be honest, i could see her point. These people do not know their patients as well as their family do, and they are not involved in their day to day life. How are they expected to help ? Has this 10 year old that you know not got a family member that could help her ? Children like that usually benefit from a bit of love and attention. They need to be reminded that they are loved and they need to be made aware of how their behavior and actions are affecting the people around them. The people they love most. I have realisd that the best way to deal with people like that is to remain calm. No matter what they do, do not shout at them and do not result to violence, even if they are being violent towards you. If you stay calm, you are in control of the situation. When they realise that you are not getting angry at them, they will usually calm down too. If someone has the time and the patience to develop a good relationship with this little girl, it will help. It could prevent her from a life of destruction. At 10 years old, they are easier to control, but when they get to 15, you can not control them anymore. They make the final decisions. If you are close to them, you share a special bond. Knowing that they trust you and feel that they can talk to you about anything is such a great feeling and saves you from a lot of worrying.
