We wonder whether there has ever been a time when there have been so many children so full of anger and hurt. Many children have grown up in dysfunctional families and have experienced the pain of broken relationships. Depression and other illnesses in children are prevalent. So often children and teenagers have been overlooked. Parents often say that their kids are resilient and will bounce back. In other words, they’ll get over it. At the same time the parents involved in the family dissolution have sought medical assistance for their emotional pain. This has led to millions of children storing up anger and hurt. It reveals itself in outward behavioral expressions for some and for inward accumulation for others. Unless parents and professionals recognize these symptoms and deal with them we will continue to face the social and personal violence that we see in the media every day. Child abuse, inherited temperament, absent parents, selfishness, indulgence, authoritarian parenting, and observation of angry adult behavior, often lead to children harboring deep resentment and anger. How can you recognize the source of your child’s unacceptable behavior? How can you deal with it? What resources are available to you and your children to heal these hurts and deep anger? When is the behavior normal child behavior, and when does it stem from unresolved issues? This topic will give you some understanding of the problems children are facing and give you some answers.
