I created Loving Through the Anger as a reference for parents and teachers. It is a short version of things that have ‘stuck with me’ and really ‘struck a chord with me’ through the years of coming alongside children that struggle with strong emotions. Each reference given, points to so much more information. This is one of my passions right now. I truly believe that behaviour from a child is communication and our behaviour can communicate so much back to the child. There are times [weird, I know] when I am glad to catch moments of anger, etc. because these become teachable moments and times when I can congratulate self regulation and efforts towards self control. Of course, ask my own children if I always handle these issues ‘properly’…. on second thought, probably better not to ask my own children – just read the reference sheet instead.
