What I want is to help them navigate that anger, so they can experience the feeling, but not be overwhelmed by it. First, understand that there can be differences in how boys and girls experience and express anger. It is not fair, nor accurate, to say that all boys experience anger one way, while all girls experience it another. And research shows it is a myth that boys and men experience anger more than girls and women. Your kid might turn around and tell you that they’re not actually feeling angry, they’re feeling XYZ thing — and that’s totally fine.
