People get angry when something doesn't go the way they want. 😠 Maybe they didn't get their favorite toy or someone took their crayon. It's like a little storm inside their heart! β›ˆοΈ

But it's okay to feel angry sometimes. Taking deep breaths or hugging a teddy bear can help calm down. πŸ§ΈπŸ’¨

Answer for children of age 6-10

Anger is a natural emotion that happens when we feel upset, frustrated, or treated unfairly. 🧠 It's like an alarm bell in our brain telling us something is wrong!

Sometimes, anger comes from feeling tired, hungry, or not understood. Eating a snack or talking about feelings can help. πŸŽπŸ—£οΈ

It's important to express anger in healthy ways, like drawing, running, or using words instead of hitting or yelling. πŸŽ¨πŸƒ

Answer for children of age 11-15

Anger is a complex emotion triggered by our brain's amygdala when we perceive threats or injustice. 🧠⚑ It releases adrenaline, making our heart race and muscles tenseβ€”a leftover from ancient "fight or flight" instincts.

Common causes include:

  • Frustration (e.g., failing at a task)
  • Feeling disrespected
  • Unmet expectations
  • Physical discomfort (hunger, pain)

Managing anger involves:
1. Recognizing triggers πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ
2. Using techniques like the 10-second rule (counting before reacting)
3. Channeling energy into sports or creative activities 🎾🎭

🌟 Fun fact!

Scientific fact: Anger increases testosterone in men but decreases cortisol (stress hormone) in both gendersβ€”which is why some people feel calmer after an angry outburst! πŸ”¬

πŸ’‘Advice for parents

Discuss how anger affects relationships. Teach emotional intelligence by labeling subtle emotions (irritation vs. rage). Encourage journaling or mindfulness apps for teens.
