Anger is an unavoidable and universal emotion. As parents we have to model and teach our kids what to do with this emotion. In this episode Billy and Joy talk about three areas to consider as we walk this challenging path; how to express, how to cope, and how to resolve anger.
This episode has plenty to think about AND discuss with others. In fact...
Talk about these two buckets:
#1 - Personal accountability - How well do you manage your anger? Would people say you have a "temper"? Does your family feel safe with you? Who can hold you accountable for your anger?
#2 - Which area do you need to "shore up" with your kids - Express - Cope - or Resolve?
