Anger Management Support Group
Anger management commonly refers to therapeutic techniques by which someone with excessive or uncontrollable anger can control or reduce their emotions. Typical examples include the use of deep breathing and meditation as a means to relaxation. Psychologists recommend a balanced approach, which both controls the emotion and allows it to express itself in a healthy way.
I'm new to this group and I need some support. I'm admitting right here right now that I have anger issues. I'm all the time hollaring at my son because he doesn't listen, etc. I know some of you will think I'm a bad father, but I would do anything in the world for him. My son is 5 years old and my wife baby's him and I'm trying to teach him discipline. Some one please help me with suggestions so that I'm not always angry at him....I pray that will it help me control my temper. Any suggestions?????
1. read the book Love and Logic. It is the best parenting book out there and they do classes and lectures on it.
2. if you find yourself angry walk away. You cannot lower yourself to a child's level.
3. don't make them afraid of you. you are going to want them to come to you when they have troubles. they need to trust you.
Parenting is hard, very hard. You can do this. I think you already know how you want to do it.
this. i didn't even trust my parents enough to tell them when i thought i was dying when i was a kid. i would rather have just died than told them about anything that was important to me.
