Parenting is one of the most rewarding callings but also one of the most refining. One of the hardest challenges we face is when our children wrestle with anger. Anger can erupt suddenly, sometimes in tears and tantrums, other times in withdrawal or aggression. For children who have walked through trauma, grief, or instability, anger often becomes a shield, masking deeper emotions like fear, sadness, or a sense of loss.
This month, trainer Shelena Bentley will guide us through understanding what anger in kids truly means. Together, we’ll explore:
- The common symptoms and signs of anger in children.
- The deeper causes and what anger may really be communicating.
- Practical ways parents can respond that bring peace, connection, and healing.
For foster and adoptive families especially, these tools are vital. When we begin to understand anger not as defiance but as communication, we can step in with compassion rather than frustration. This training will not only provide practical strategies but also encouragement for your heart, you are not alone in this.
“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” – James 1:19-20
May this truth remind us that while anger may rise up, God’s Spirit within us equips us to respond with patience, listening, and love.
