Nowadays, most parents' biggest concern is that their children don't listen, get angry at everything, and insist on everything. Parents are finding it much more difficult to manage their children than before. While children used to be guided by fear and discipline, today's children want to express themselves, ask questions, and express their opinions on everything. When children become stubborn, irritable, or angry over small things, parents are at a loss for how to handle them. However, with a few sensible approaches, children's anger and stubbornness can be gradually reduced. So, let's explore specific ways to address children's increasing irritability, stubbornness, and anger.

Why is stubbornness and anger increasing in children?

When children are unable to understand their emotions properly, they express them in the form of anger or stubbornness. Furthermore, when parents are busy with daily chores and are unable to give time to their children, children become stubborn or irritable to attract attention. Excessive use of mobile phones, tablets, and television reduces children's understanding. This causes them to get angry even over small things. If children's requests are repeatedly ignored or they are scolded for every little thing, they become filled with anger within.

Some special and easy ways to reduce stubbornness and anger in children

Children of today's generation, i.e. Gen Z and Gen Alpha, are very intelligent. These children form their own thoughts and want to know the reason before obeying anyone. Therefore, it is important that instead of controlling your children, you develop an emotional bond with them. When you develop a friendly relationship with your child, he will automatically listen to you. Apart from this, some special and easy methods can also reduce the stubbornness and anger of children. Such as - 
1. Talk to your children for 15 minutes every day without any advice. Experts believe that if you spend just 15 minutes every day with your child without teaching or scolding, just listening to him, then gradually the child will become calm and sensible.

2. Also, understand your child's feelings, don't judge them. When your child is angry or crying, don't try to calm them down immediately. First, ask them and understand what's happening, then say, "Let's talk."

3. Don't scold your child for their mistakes, teach them. If your child makes a mistake, instead of scolding them, talk to them about their mistake and what they can do better next time. This will make your child feel like you're their guide.

4. Establish a routine for your child and teach them that there's a time for everything. Explain to them that there are set times for eating, playing, studying, and using the mobile phone. Having a set routine helps children maintain balance and focus.

5. Use emotional words with children. Avoid saying things like, "You always do this to your children." Instead, tell your children, "I don't like it when you say things like that. Can we fix it?"
