Preface and Acknowledgments


Twelve Steps Toward Anger Management for Parents



The Purpose of Anger



Learn to identify what is behind the expression of anger, and make that a primary focus



How Anger Is Mismanaged



Be aware of the ways you may choose to handle anger poorly, so you can be specific in your efforts to improve



Healthy Ways to Manage Anger



When you have a responsible message to communicate, do so in a way that upholds the dignity of the others involved



Breaking Your Cycles of Dependency



Have a strong sense of purpose as a parent in order to respond to anger-producing circumstances as an initiator, not a reactor



Dropping Excessive Control



Realize that the best way to be in control is to diminish control tactics, speaking instead about choices



The Struggle for Superiority



Refuse to lord over your child, but speak instead as one who believes in the equal worth of each family member



Anger as an Ego Trip



Let humility be your guide as you demonstrate to your children that selfishness has no place in successful anger management



Dropping Defenses



Don't be threatened by an adversarial response, but be confident in your own response



Establishing Boundaries



Respect the fact that each family member is responsible for his or her choices



Myths That Perpetuate Anger



Identify the false assumptions that feed your anger, and let truth guide your decisions in discipline



Displaced Anger



Identify your own outside stressors that create anger, and choose to address them separately, as opposed to bringing them into parental communication



The Overcomer's Mind-Set



Set aside an attitude of defeat, and recognize that in each situation you can choose to be an overcomer



Anger, Teenagers, and Medication
