Ask yourself, "What kind of example I apply? "

Any teacher knows that when children are excited and noisy behaved, it is useless for them to raise your voice or call them to silence. The louder the teacher says, the fewer children listen to it.

And vice versa - if the teacher says quietly, the children calm down, to hear him. In addition, they perceive the cry of the teacher as a sign of weakness and lack of control. If the mother is used to raise his voice to draw attention to her daughter, and talk on serious topics in a raised voice, it must be prepared for the fact that her daughter will subconsciously think that you need to listen to my mother, but when she screams.

Wrath of the parents not only undermines their credibility in the eyes of the child, but also "infect" the children. And who can keep calm when he was screaming? The response of anger and irritation - a natural reaction. In addition, if the person raises his voice, you will automatically do the same, to be heard, do not you? It is logical that parents, who are not accustomed to restrain their anger and pour out on his children grow up the same unrestrained children.

If noisy quarrel became your family in a familiar way clarify the relationship with the child ever since, when he was a kid, you know that the son or daughter did not immediately respond properly to your attempts to talk without shouting. Please be patient. To get rid of bad habits and get used to the new rules of communication in the family, it will take time.

Analyze their behavior

Teens often feel frustration because of the fact that few parents are involved in their education, and paid little attention to them, which is manifested as aggression and disrespect. It is shocking many parents are accustomed to see in your child being obedient and uncomplaining.

Of course, parents want only good, they only have good intentions, but sometimes they forget that their child - also a person deserving of respect. Unfair or neglect of their parents can cause latent aggressiveness of the child, which is puberty Transitional age - the period of emotional turmoil  Transitional age - the period of emotional turmoil
   breaks out.

Remember, you did not cause the child pain (intentionally or unintentionally), did not make him feel any unnecessary and unloved, if not manipulated his feelings or ignore him when he needed you? Do you always keep their promises? I did not show him any excessive demands? We do not say that the neighbor's child is much smarter and more compliant, and you got real punishment? Do not threatened? We do listen to him? We do not use it to satisfy their own needs and ambitions?

If the aggressive behavior of the child, and there's your fault, do not despair - there are no perfect parents (as well as the ideal children). The main thing - to understand it is not too late, when the situation can still be changed. Honest and frank talk with your child, acknowledge your mistakes and show that you can be trusted. In short, start communicating with a clean slate.

Sometimes you have to show who's boss

If a child often shows disrespect, it is quick-tempered and irritable, and refuses to change its behavior, despite the entreaties of your patient and serious "adult" conversation, it's time to show him who's boss.

Some psychologists recommend that parents give children clearly understand that shout insults, throwing objects or hysteria is totally unacceptable and motivated to establish penalties for violation of this prohibition. That punishment may be banned from participating in any event, a prohibition on going to the movies, and so forth. Having chosen the tactics of behavior, the parents in any case should not deviate from its decision and give in to the entreaties of the child. If he broke the rules - he should be punished, as you promised.

Do not try to deny your child to show anger

Anger - a natural emotion inherent in every person, but many of us, especially religious people mistakenly believe that to be angry is sinful and wrong. In fact, the Scripture does not say that anger - is a sin, so regardless of your religious beliefs should show your child that anger is nothing shameful or forbidden.

As the steam from the kettle, anger must find a way out. If you suppress it too long, it will result in a passive-aggressive behavior that is directed against those who embodies the authority for the child. As a child moves unconscious desire to disrupt those who have power over him, to provoke them to anger and emotions, which he is doing the opposite of what was demanded of him. When children are locked up anger within himself, it often causes psychosomatic problems: headaches, ulcers, internal organs, skin diseases Skin diseases - what to do when violated the basic functions of the skin  Skin diseases - what to do when violated the basic functions of the skin

But take your anger and dump it on others - different things, so the child should be taught how to deal with this emotion Emotions and culture: how to decipher the emotional code  Emotions and culture: how to decipher the emotional code

Help your child find other ways to express anger

Learn how to manage your anger - one of the most difficult problems, and many adults and can not overcome it until the end of life. Children express anger extremely clumsy as long as they do not teach the contrary. From teen also still do not expect that he would always express anger correctly. But just this and are waiting for the parents, not requiring the teenager to go crazy. In fact, parents need to step by step to teach adolescents to deal with his anger.

The worst way to express anger - passive-aggressive behavior. Somewhat better when a person absolutely no control over their behavior, being in a fit of rage, destroying everything around and / or aggressive towards others. It looks terrible, but still passive-aggressive behavior worse. Why is that? Because with fury much easier to handle; correct this behavior and prevent the explosion of rage is easier than to deal with passive-aggressive behavior. A little more than an acceptable way to express anger - a rage, in which a person was partially offset by themselves, do not break the furniture and does not use force against other people. Such an attack is limited to squeal, scream, accompanied by insults possible personal insults and other hurtful comments. In this case, the anger is not limited to the person who caused it, but also to everyone who comes "under the hot hand."

Much more suitable option - not restrain himself, to figure out the relationship in the conversation, but not trying to hurt the man without insulting him and criticizing. In this case, anger is also directed not only to the one who became his cause, but also on all others. This method is too simplistic, but it is better than the previous. The best way to express anger - to make it as calmly as possible and reasonable, directing it only angered you man. But in this case it is important that this person took your anger as mature, try to understand your position, as the resolution of the problem requires a logical and robust study of its two sides, discussion, consideration of both perspectives and the adoption of an agreement acceptable to all.

If we talk about practical tips should again mention the time-out technique, when a man for some time voluntarily isolate themselves, feeling angry. Some psychologists recommend the use of an analog of a punching bag (for example, a soft toy), to vent her frustration and their anger. The main thing - remember that the child is experiencing the same strong emotions as you, only worse deal with them. In some cases, you may need the help of a professional psychologist.
