In this class, we 'll explore:
-Aggressive expressions: tantrums, meltdowns, hitting, yelling, biting, and other ways children may express anger and overwhelm.
-Anger turned inward: withdrawal, self-blame, harsh self-criticism, excessive guilt, and the development of an overly strict conscience.
-What anger is communicating: understanding the feelings, needs, and developmental struggles that may lie beneath difficult behaviors.
-The role of the parent: how our own responses can help children feel safe, understood, and supported while still maintaining appropriate boundaries.
-Healthy outlets for anger: ways to help children recognize, express, and manage strong emotions without hurting themselves or others.
-Practical guidance for parents: concrete strategies and ways of responding that support emotional development while strengthening connection and communication.
