One in seven think their child gets angrier than peers of the same age and four in 10 say their child has experienced negative consequences when angry.

Seven in 10 parents even think they sometimes set a bad example of handling anger.

More parents of boys than girls say that in the past year their child had experienced negative reactions when angry, including hurting themselves or others, having problems with friends or getting in trouble at school.

Children may face different challenges and frustrations at school than at home, Clark says.

Parents should also set clear boundaries on aggressive behavior like hurting others or breaking things.

Children experiencing underlying issues, such as anxiety, trauma, or learning challenges, may have more difficulty managing anger.
