Understanding and managing anger in children can be challenging. While occasional frustration is normal, persistent anger or aggressive behaviour may indicate a deeper issue that requires professional support. Early intervention can equip children with the skills they need to manage their emotions effectively. Adults, such as parents and teachers, play a crucial role in facilitating a young person's engagement with therapy services.

If your child is struggling with anger, we encourage you to bring them in for an assessment. Our team will help make sense of the changes you’ve noticed and provide guidance for your child and your family.
