If you have an angry child you’re probably looking for ways to help that child deal with those feelings. We often see anger as bad behavior. We need to look at it another way. Anger is normal; we all get angry from time to time. We need to accept these feeling and learn ways to channel them in the right direction.
An angry child always has a trigger that sets them off. If we are going to learn how to deal with anger efficiently then we need to identify these triggers. First we need to try and distinguish between anger and aggression. Anger is caused by feelings of frustration. Aggression is destructive and can happen in response to anger. Anger is acceptable and aggression is not.
When dealing with an angry child we need to be understanding and not punish or make the child feel guilty for their feeling. This only causes further frustration. Teach the child to accept their feeling and give them solutions so they can express their feelings in a more productive manner.
An angry child may become so frustrated that they lose control sometimes. When this happens we need to make sure that the child understands that this is absolutely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. You cannot lose control but you may have to remove the child from their environment or temporarily restrain them until they calm down.
An angry child is most of the time just reacting to a situation that they don’t understand or have no control over. It may be that child’s way of communicating that something is wrong. Often talking with the child and trying to find out what happened will allow the child to feel more understood creating an opportunity to find a solution.
I have learned some helpful techniques that I have personally found useful in dealing with my angry child. I found that if I praise the good behavior they want to repeat it. Children really do want to make their parents happy. Hugging your child when they are angry is another great tool, it helps communicate to your child that you understand their anger and that it is important to you.
Teach your angry child anger management tools. Most of us have some tools that we use when we are angry to keep from losing control. Make sure that you teach them to your children. Children learn by watching their parents and how they act and react to different situation, so make sure that your behavior is worth modeling.
An angry child needs help learning how to deal with their angry in ways that are not harmful to themselves or others. Children don’t come into this world knowing everything they need to know to get by in this world. Our job as parents is to teach them, guide them and give them all the tools that we can so that they grow up to be capable, well adjusted adults.

I agreed with you that parents hv to patient & understand them when they throw their anger but if find out is their mistake and we are using
“hugging” to cool them, believe this will make them more ego even parents hv to listen to them & they are always right.
