How Do You Cope With A 3 Year Old Boys Anger?
You can’t reduce his anger. He is 3. It’s a natural emotion for him and a big one to cope with. Give him a safer way to express his anger. It is important he feels able to express his emotions but it needs to be done in a safe way. Get him to stamp his feet instead or to shout “I’m very angry!” Say to him. “I can see you’re angry. Would you like me to help you calm down?” Then do breathing with him. Breathe in and out deeply- if you do it he will copy you. By doing this you will give him coping skills. It is important a child who gets angry learns how to express this without endangering anyone. Otherwise you will end up with an adult who is angry and doesn’t know what to do.
