How do you respond when one child hits another who won't give up the toy they want?
Having angry feelings or feeling aggressive is normal. Most children learn to manage such feelings in safe and acceptable ways, however sometimes children have trouble managing their feelings and additional support is needed.
This book outlines a range of positive strategies to assist carers and parents to give young children ways of developing self-control and expressing feelings safely.
Experienced teacher and psychologist Dr Diane Szarkowicz provides a helpful outline of what to expect as young children develop and how to deal with issues such as:
- physical anger and aggression in toddlers
- tantrums
- biting
- redirecting anger and aggressive feelings
- learning about angry feelings and assertion
