angry Young Man!

Avyaya is 9 years old now. He is growing up. He is also developing some characteristics. The very basic one is getting bored and angry about different things. Otherwise a very loving and very well behaved child I don't mind him getting angry. That's an emotion. And it is very important to let out our emotions. It all depends on us parents how we tackle that emotion in kids. The kids chose to express their emotion of anger either by screaming or hitting when they are toddler because they don't have the words to express their sentiments but gradually as they grow up these actions are reduced and annoyance and anger take the place where they start behaving badly and talking back to parents. This is a time when the parents need to show some patience coz when the child is showing his emotion and we revert back in showing back ours then it aggravates the situation. The best thing that worked for me is staying cool that time and once Avyaya is calmed down we speak about the reason and try to solve it together. Not being commanding and scolding at the time when he is angry helped me a lot. Avyaya now realizes whenever he loses his temper or gets annoyed and apologizes on his own without me telling him anything. I am happy he does that.
