Anger must first be taught and understood to the fullest by the child before proceeding to the next process. The Oxford Dictionaries states that anger is a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure or hostility. In other words becoming anger means that someone or something such as an event caused irritation, disapproval or unfriendliness. Anger is a natural emotion (Nordqvist). Since its natural it’s a given that everyone has it but does that mean anger is the same for everyone. Children lash out on the small things like not getting cookies or cutting in line. Proper techniques can teach children how to control their anger and not lash out. Anger ranges from mild irritation to rage (What is Anger) knowing this parents and teachers are safe when it mild because it can easily be control but are they willing to take a risk with surround students or kids when its rage. Personally the author wouldn’t take that risk. The surrounding children should be blamed or at fault when a child acts out. Every person has pet peeves so this obviously means that something can tick them off. Some people just have a better handle of their emotions compared to others. Just because something irritates a person doesn’t mean that it irritates the next person.

This can either be a positive or negative thing and how you act on it, or do not act, can show how in control and effective you are with your feelings. According to the text, “just because you feel a certain way does not mean you have to act on it” and that “people who act out angry feelings actually feel worse than those who experience anger without lashing out” (Adler, Rosenfeld, Proctor II, year?). Even though acting on your feelings may seem uncontrollable, it is important to deal with them in a different and more productive way. Recognizing how you feel and using the right approach during a constructive conversation is always better than quickly lashing out without completely understanding the situation or how you feel besides angry.
