What is anger management for children and teens?

Anger is a natural emotion. It is nature’s way of telling us that something in our lives has gone wrong. Anger occurs as a defensive response to a perceived attack or threat to our well-being. In addition to psychological changes, like any emotion, anger is accompanied by physiological changes.For children, anger issues often accompany other mental health conditions, including ADHD, autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Tourette’s syndrome.

Children happen to take the worst of a parent’s anger issues, children that grow up in an angry household tend to be fearful especially towards the dominant parent, they mimic theirs parents’ behaviors by showing aggression and naughty behaviour around their parents and siblings.
Children display emotional issues and live under a cloud of judgment that leads to depression, low self-esteem, and dishonesty. Teenagers have a tendency to rebel or fight back while living in a concoction of mixed emotions topped off with low self esteem and self-pity
