How can you help your child control their anger?
One key in helping your child control their anger is simply by given them the S.T.A.M.P. OF APPROVAL Anger Management Technique
(This technique is not in the WIT4LIFE eBook)
S.T.A.M.P. OF APPROVAL - Anger Managment Technique (Up & coming New eBook)
Stamp of Approval? I know this sounds derogatory, however, it is by given your child, client or student the stamp of approval to be angry it gives you ready access into their “world” their mind to say, simply “Hey, I know how you are feeling or at least have some idea, now let me help you.”
The first step to this Five step anger management approach - STAMP OF Approval in helping the child to control their anger is by asking them to STOP.
S - STOP
To get them to "stop & decrease the emotion of anger" takes practice & patience of course. The first thing you can do is ASK them to stop, don't tell them, ask them. * One problem that some people have in confronting an angry child or youth is that they what to confront them and let them know that they are in control in a authoritarian way or dictatorship approach, with some this may work, but especially not with the oppositional or defiant or even child who is in the anger zone. Other words if they are not a typical child that becomes angry, be compassionate and get into their world to understand, if possible what they are upset about.
Then immediately ask, "Why are you angry?" even if you are aware of why, ask the question. This allows them to THINK before they explode to the next level. This next step is critical, Open your Ears & LISTEN, while they talk. DON’T TALK, JUST LISTEN. Now feel their hurt, pain, frustration, cognitive processing if they are logical, or irrational, and their expressions of future actions to report any danger if seem to be prevelent.
This is What Dr.Leonard Ingram, a Nationally known anger management specialist, talks about with emotional intelligence: the key to anger management, the forth principle. Empathy – He says, "it is not to be confused with sympathy. Possessing the ability to listen effectively and accurately enough to put yourself in the other person's shoes. Not to necessarily agree with them, but to truly understand the situation from their point of view in order to improve communication, problem-solving, and trust." http://www.angermgmt.com/blog/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=27
When you just listen, hopefully this creates empathy in the mind of the child that you care about how upset they are.
This questioning redirects their attention, which is a strategy I use often with the children & youth I work with. To ask them to simply "calm down" is not a good thing. Why? because it will make them even angrier because no one seems to understand their feelings according to them, plus "calming down" will not get them what they need, in their eyes, because they are trying to get your attention and be heard.
