Everybody gets angry, but out-of-control anger isn't good for you or those around you. So here are five simple strategies to help you learn how to manage your anger:
• Relax. Breathe deeply, from your stomach. Repeat it to yourself and visualize a relaxing time and experience.
• Change the way you think. When you're angry, your thinking can get exaggerated (夸大的). For instance, instead of telling yourself, "Oh, it's terrible! Everything's ruined," tell yourself, "It's understandable that I'm upset about it, but it's not the end of the world."
• Statements like "This never works." or "You're always forgetting things." will make you feel your anger is justified (情有可原的) and there's no way to solve the problem. They might upset people who might be willing to work with you on a solution.
• Have a better communication. Angry people tend to jump to conclusions. If you are in a heated discussion, slow down. And take your time before answering. Instead of saying the first thing that comes into your head, think carefully about what you want to say.
• Use humor. Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think "things ought to go my way!" "Silly humor" can help you get a more balanced perspective. So, when you feel that anger coming the next time, picture yourself as a king or queen, walking around, admired by everybody, and getting your own way in every situation. The more detail you can get into your imaginary scenes, the more likely it is to put a smile on your face.
A. Be careful with words like "never" or "always".
B. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying.
C. Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones.
D. Avoid using these strategies when you're in a tense situation.
E. Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as "take it easy".
F. Try changing the topics so your talks won't turn into arguments.
G. That will help you realize that the things you're angry about are really not very important.
It's natural for all kids to worry at times, and because of personality differences, some may worry more than others. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} They typically worry about things like grades, tests, their changing bodies, fitting in with friends, the goal they missed at the soccer game, or whether they'll be bullied (欺负), or left out. Luckily, parents can help kids manage worry and deal with everyday problems.
To help your kids manage what's worrying them:
Find out what's on their minds.
Be available and take an interest in what's happening at school, on the team, and with your kids' friends. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} As you listen to stories of the day's events, be sure to ask about what your kids think and feel about what happened. Sometimes just sharing the story with you can help lighten their load.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Being interested in your child's concerns shows they're important to you, too, and helps kids feel supported and understood. Reassuring (令人安心的) comments can help—but usually only after you've heard your child out. Say that you understand your child's feelings and the problem.
Guide kids to solutions.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} When your child tells you about a problem, offer to help come up with a solution together. If your son is worried about an upcoming math test, for example, offering to help him study will lessen his concern about it.
Offer reassurance and comfort.
Sometimes when kids are worried, what they need most is a parent's concern and comfort. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} It helps kids to know that, whatever happens, parents will be there with love and support.
A. Show you care and understand. B. Take casual opportunities to ask how it's going. C. It might come in the form of a hug or time spent together. D. Kids sometimes worry about things that have already happened. E. Not all the kids worry about their teachers when they start a new school. F. What kids worry about is often related to the age and stage they're in. G. You can help reduce worries by helping kids learn to deal with challenging situations. |
