JAKARTA - Anger is a part of human emotions that are actually natural. Just like adults, children can also get angry when something disturbs them or feels wrong for them.

The thing parents need to do is face their children's anger properly, and guide them. Here are some tips and how to deal with angry children that can be tried, according to information from the Child Mind Institute, Friday, November 15.

The first step in managing anger is understanding what triggers an explosion of children's anger. So for example, going out of the house to go to school is a problem for children, the solution is a time warning, preparing clothes and bathing the night before, and getting up early. Some children respond well by dividing the task into several steps, and attaching it to the wall.

Teach children what to do when they start to feel angry. Instead of throwing toys when they are frustrated, for example, asking them to go to a special room or room that has been agreed upon to calm down.

Invite them to color, read books, or do other calming activities until they feel better. This can be a way to deal with an effective angry child.

Sometimes children realize that an explosion of anger is an effective way of getting what they want. If a child makes tantrums and their parents give them toys to keep them quiet, they will learn that temper tantrums are effective.

So, never give up and obey your child's wishes when tantrums. Stay calm and give an impression on your child that such an attitude will not make him get everything he wants.

Giving consequences can also be a way to deal with an effective angry child. It can also be a good parenting style to train it to be more disciplined and responsible. Tell the child that aggression or disrespectful behavior is unacceptable. If the child violates this rule, give him consistent consequences, so that he understands it.

Time-outs or taking privileges can be an effective disciplinary strategy. If children break something when they get angry, ask them to help fix it or do homework to raise money for repairs.

If children show aggressive behavior, giving them viewing or video games that contain violence can exacerbate problems. Focus on explaining them to books, games, and performances that show healthy conflict resolution skills.

Those are some tips and how to deal with angry children that can be tried. Guide children to manage emotions is an important part of parenting.
