I was reading an article of what to do when a child is angry. When they are young they have to learn to contain some big emotions. Process. And it is hard.
So I had noticed that the little man has been having some real issues with anger and not getting his way. And I'm a reactor. Not the best combination.
In this article it said to have the child use words to describe what they are feeling. But not like happy, mad, sad. The example that sticks out is like weather words. And it worked. He was very angry the other day and I stopped before I reacted. I asked him to describe what he was feeling like weather and he stopped. Looked at me and said "snow". He went on to explain it was a lot of snow and it covered the window. And when he was done he wasn't angry anymore.
Now I just need to keep it in mind when the next time he blows up comes around.
