Anger is a biological response to all kinds and degrees of frustration or hurt.
Anger might speak to unmet needs or to feeling vulnerable.
When we feel frustration, we need understanding before we can cooperate or compromise.
When we offer or receive understanding, potential feelings of anger melt away and solutions can more easily be found.
Soothing words offer comfort while limit setting, One more time, then it is time to say ‘goodbye’ until next time!” Such empathy is more likely to minimize anger and facilitate cooperation
“That’s it! Time to go! If you scream like that!” This response is far more likely to aggravate frustration and anger.
