Children go through various stages of emotional development, and learning how to manage anger is a key part of that process. However, if a child who was previously calm and cooperative suddenly begins to lash out with aggression, frustration, or excessive irritability, it could indicate that they’re struggling to cope with their emotions.
Difficulty managing anger can manifest in many ways, such as frequent outbursts or physical aggression. If your child’s anger is affecting their relationships with family, friends, or peers, they may benefit from the support of a counselor or coach. Therapy can teach them healthy ways to express their emotions, cope with frustration, and manage anger constructively.
