Learn to let certain things go.
Do your children get in trouble with you if they cross their arms or yell about how life isn't fair? 36 Children should have the right to express their anger, and it's not going to come out in a mature(成熟的) way because their brains aren't yet mature. This is hard even for adults sometimes!
Remember that their behavior is not a reflection of you.

Kids who behave this way are not trying to torture(折磨) you; they're struggling emotionally ,and they need your help.

Children with anger problems get lectures and consequences all day long. 39 If your children frequently hit others when they are angry and instead choose to hit a pillow, wait until they're calm, and then tell them how proud you are of their new behavior. They'll be more likely to repeat the improved behavior in the future.
