  • A child feels trapped when he/she is not allowed to complain, which is sometimes necessary, allow them to do it.
  • Anger outbursts/Rage are more often than not a coping/protection against an underlying feeling of sadness and more so, felling frightened.
  • Allow him/her to cry on your shoulder, be there for them when they feel so hopeless
  • It is worth it to let the child tantrum and work through the emotion. He/She will be a different child afterwards, possibly learning how to better understand and handle the feeling which caused the tantrum to start with.
  • Only working on emotions may not be enough
    • Help with emotions
    • Help with perception of world (More positive outlook)
    • Reframe your own attitude so you can better support the child
    • Strengthen your relationship
