A new study indicates most parents are worried about anger issues with their kids.
While more than a third of parents feel their child has found ways to manage their anger, a new poll from the University of Michigan Health found two in five worry their child’s anger will cause them problems. Poll co-director Sarah Clark told us more.
“Parents really need to gauge whether they think their child gets angry more often and and more intensely than other kids of the same age,” Clark said.
Clark says it’s not a bad idea to talk with the child’s teacher and pediatrician if you think it’s a problem. It’s a resource many parents don’t use and it could be very helpful when coming up with strategies to help your kids navigate their anger issues.
