I can’t push this enough. I had quite a few problems as a kid. I got very emotional, whether it was very sad or very angry as a kid. My older sister relentlessly picked on me & I KNOW that had something to do with it. Instead of trying to recognize why I was angry and lashing out at family members, my parents would send me to my room and I got blamed for my own behavior. (The older sister played innocent once I got angry and acted like she did nothing) While I do believe kids should be held accountable for the way they act in certain situations, if your kid is mad, find out why! If they need help, please get it. If you can’t afford therapy, many schools have a guidance counselor your kid can talk to. They may need to get something out. Try to help the situation from an angry child turning into an angry adult. I wish I had gotten that help. I’m still hyper sensitive at times.
