Anger can be useful if it is letting us know that a change needs to be made.

But, then we need to decide what changes will help us be happy again.

We can feel anger when things are not going our way, or when we do not have control over what is happening to us or around us.

Talk to someone when you are feeling angry and let others help you find solutions.

Working with an adult to resolve problems helps get back to feeling in control of our lives.

By paying close attention to our feelings and thoughts, and then acting in a way that everyone can happily live with is a goal to aim for.

Also, make your goal be to treat everyone fairly. Practice listening to others carefully. Maybe you have similar ideas that you are expressing differently.

Use your stirred up or angry energy to create positive change. Positive change is a best outcome of angry feelings.

We can not always get our own way, but we can learn what is reasonable and adjust to being content.

Sometimes a new way to look at a problem or event is even better than what we wanted in the first place.
