Keeping your cool: advice for parents on managing stress and anger

Keeping your cool: advice for parents on managing stress and anger helps parents to recognise stress and anger points and find new ways of coping with them, thinking more carefully about their children’s feelings.

Most parents find bringing up their children very rewarding, but also pretty demanding. Using real-life examples and situations, this booklet describes the triggers that can cause parents to resort to shouting, harsh discipline or severe punishment. It explains the positive choices they can make to help them to control their anger, and influence children’s behaviour without creating bad feelings.

This is also a helpful resource for any service or professional offering parenting advice to those caring for children of all ages.
