Our children can be taught anger management skills at a young age. They learn by watching closely as the adults in their life handle anger, so parents can play a key role in their children's anger management skills by setting a good example. By identifying the feeling of anger and applying calming and coping skills, children can learn to manage this emotion in a healthy way.
