In this episode of TRIBE Talk, we explore one of the most common challenges faced by parents, carers, and professionals: supporting children and teenagers who become angry. While anger is often viewed as the problem, it is usually a signal that something deeper is going on. Beneath anger may be fear, anxiety, frustration, shame, overwhelm, or unmet needs that a young person is struggling to express in other ways.
Using a trauma-informed and behavioural lens, we discuss why some children and teens experience anger more intensely than others, what may be driving these reactions, and how adults can respond effectively. Rather than focusing solely on stopping angry behaviour, this episode explores how to understand it, reduce escalation, and help young people develop healthier ways of managing and communicating difficult emotions.
Episode Highlights
- What may sit underneath angry behaviour
- How trauma can influence emotional regulation and anger
- Common triggers for anger in children and teenagers
- The difference between reacting to anger and understanding it
