Angry Kids

Does it feel like your child is walking around with a lit fuse? Maybe small things set them off, leading to outbursts, arguments, or even slammed doors. While anger is a normal emotion, uncontrolled anger can make life difficult for both your child and those around them.

 

The good news is, there's help available.

 

At Empower to Change, our therapists specialize in helping children develop healthy ways to manage their anger.

When you come to Empower to Change for help with your angry child

  • They will learn cool-down strategies like deep breathing, mindfulness, and cognitive restructuring to help them calm down before reacting impulsively.

  • We'll teach your child assertive communication skills so they can express their needs and feelings clearly and calmly, reducing frustration and conflict.

  • We can help your child discover healthy ways to express their anger, such as exercise, creative outlets like drawing or writing, or relaxation techniques.
