Precious Pointer #13 Investigate why your child is angry.
It's easy for a parent to assume that children are always angry because they "are being bad". Most of the time that's not the reason. Children want to obey. Children want to have their needs met. Children want to "fit" in their world. When something is wrong - say a headache from allergies - they often become agitated rather than asking you why. All they understand is that they don't feel good and they are missing out on play time or time with friends.
Before you punish your child...find out "why" they are angry or misbehaving. Unless you know the "why" you will never be able to design a solution to the problem.
