In this episode I have shared about how we can cope up with kids anger. Releasing the emotions in fresh air has become a close door activity and because of the situation kids are also trying to keep themselves busy with those activities which they find interesting. That might gives us the feel of messing things around but trust me for them those are the ultimate way to relax their mind. This happened with my daughter as well. Earlier the routine has been already planned and implemented as per the daily programme. Getting up in the morning, having breakfast and then ready for school and till the time she comes back she’s already half tired. But her schedule for outdoor activities was always planned and it was a everyday routine. And once she finishes her dinner her tiredness takes her to bed. But things has changed now, there is no proper physical activity in fresh air.This happened with my daughter as well.

Sometime my daughter become so adamant and keeps on nagging for few things which, being a mother I try to avoid, but because of that reason her frustration level goes so high. That’s the situation she not only feels hurt she gets really angry and out of control. And turning that situation to normal takes lots of patience for me. So when my daughter become normal, I make her understand why I was not interested to offer her that particular thing which she was behind.
Even few of the situations which I have experienced is when my daughter is busy doing one activity such as painting or playing with her dolls, I never insist her to do some other thing which is pending or need to prioritise in that moment. Because she is already engrossed with her present activity and asking her to move and concentrate to other work will mess up her mind. That’s why I never disturb her when she is busy with such activities and happy being in that.
“Kids concentration level also increase when they focus in one activity at a time”.
Child psychology plays a very important role from Childhood, which I can easily sense through my daughter. Constant watching parents talking in a particular slang also attracts and encourage to change their behaviour. Parents shouting on each other or you are talking to a friend through phone call in a harsh manner, for a Child that’s the normal behaviour since they have been watching their parents on everyday basis. And after few days, we can find our Child starts imitating and behaving in the same manner. I have seen that change happen in my daughter, if I shout on her , the next reaction comes from her in same way. Because for her thats the normal way to communicate with each other and eventually its become habit for them. Hence being mother i always become cautious about my behaviour and body language in front of her. Now a day’s our life has become so busy and we prioritise those things which comes first, so somewhere our Child feels disconnected and that’s the time they need parents attention. Anger in kids dosen’t show that they are bad, it’s the only easiest way for them to express their thoughts. When our child is annoying us, our thinki
