Child Psychologist Gold Coast With Anger Management Tip Its Not Your Fault
Like adults, all kids and teenagers get angry from time-to-time. Anger is a normal response to feeling hurt, disappointed, frustrated or like a failure. Family members tend to cop the brunt of their foul mouths and physical aggression as angry kids with a short fuse blow up every day. Isn't it interesting that when our own flesh and blood has trouble expressing their emotions that we're often the ones that end up feeling guilty? We feel guilty because it's pretty hard to love them unconditionally with their consistently terrible behaviour and because everything we've tried hasn't seemed to help them. Well as a child psychologist I'm here to let you know that: "It's Not Your Fault". Underneath it all, they're hurting and just can't handle their pain. Some kids seem to stay angry or fly into rage with little warning, often without the ability to control themselves when they're upset. We've all seen these kids throw wild tantrums, yell and swear with the language of sailors, and lash out with fists, feet at anyone and anything within reach. Other kids when they get angry will become sullen and withdrawn, refusing to cooperate with others and instead spend their time stewing over angry thoughts. Of course there's always a reason for this anger. But it's hard to see it when someone's screaming at you. It's also hard for the child to believe that their life can be good when they keep being punished for expressing their pain and being told that they are bad all the time. It's not your fault. It's not the child's fault. It's just a emotional process that's not working because there's a missing link. You may not even be aware of what that is, but you shouldn't beat yourself up about it because the reason can be hard to spot. Children can respond to recent or past changes or events that you mightn't even be aware of. Sometimes what's seen as ‘anger' is actually a mask for hidden and serious feelings of sadness or deep depression. Finding these reasons can be hard. Many older children feel uncomfortable voicing their personal experiences as they strive for independence. Younger kids may struggle to find the words to explain their experience or even understand why they're angry in the first place. Medical or hormonal influences may also play a role, as may problems at school, home or with friends. As a parent, I totally understand that seeing your child viciously angry is upsetting and sometimes even scary. You may feel frustrated and powerless. It's important to know that there's hope. Raising a healthy child is a team effort. There's absolutely no shame in asking for help. It's what a wise parent does. Youngsters who don't get help to deal with their anger continue to suffer as adults. Unfortunately, many kids don't grow out of it. In fact, as they get older they may add to their problems by trying to get relief from their pain and frustration through drugs, alcohol or self-destruction. If your child has trouble managing anger, now is the time to make an appointment with a child psychologist. It's a fancy name for the well trained counsellors that are really great at helping young people. With professional support, your child can gradually open up and gain awareness of their anger and the effect it has on themselves and others. And you'll be happy to know it's not just psycho babble. We actually show kids how to relax and practise self control. We guide them on what to say and do when they feel angry. Plus we even give parents help too, so they can share it with the child's teachers so you all know how to reinforce and support your child as they practice their new tips. If your child has problems managing anger and you're ready to try a fresh approach and get some peace back into the home then please seek professional support today. Referrals to a child psychologist from your family doctor or paediatrician can be bulk billed with participating Medicare approved psychologists. Lots of parents tell us they wish they'd got help sooner because the effort spent getting child professional counselling is way cheaper than constantly repairing holes in the walls.
