Anger （愤怒） often makes us uncomfortable． Seeing your child's anger can be especially uncomfortable． In order to relieve （缓解） this feeling， parents often encourage children to "stop crying" and say things like "It's nothing to cry about．" It's moments like those that plant the seeds of unhealthy anger． The "stop crying" parents are just doing what they were taught by their own parents， who were probably taught that by their parents on and on． However， we should learn how to create healthy anger in our kids．

If a child never sees his or her parents express anger， he or she should never express anger， either． But if parents always express their anger loudly， their child may start to think of anger as something that is always frightening．

The first thing you can do to create healthy anger in your children is to practice creating healthy anger in yourself． Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way， you'll be able to set a good example for your kids．

Stopping kids from expressing their feelings is wrong． You may feel bad when you believe you are wrong． When children express their feelings and are told that it's nothing to cry about， they come to know that they themselves are bad．

We need to raise them in an environment where it's safe to express feelings． Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger， you can teach your children why anger is a helpful feeling． When your kids express anger， help them examine what it is that has made them angry． Why did it make them angry？ How did it do that？ Then， you can teach them that those feelings are never wrong and our expressions of feelings are in our control．

Anger is natural and normal， and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way．
