Abstract: We are often told not to be mad or angry; to calm down, and to let it go. Just as that is easier said than done, imagine being a young child that is not taught the proper way to cope with that feeling. Many times the behavior that accompanied the emotion is punished rather than investigated. Identifying and addressing the sources of anger can shift the communication among adults and children to solve problems and create a culture of acceptance.
