In the Eyes of Grieving Mothers parenting and life-skills classes is to educate and support parents to raise their children in emotionally healthy ways so that their children can thrive personally, socially and academically. Life skills are a set of human skills acquired via teaching or direct experience that are used to handle problems and questions commonly encountered in daily human life.
Anger is a strong emotion that many people try to avoid. In the course of our lives, we may have been given many negative messages about our anger. Perhaps we were told that it was inappropriate to be mad or that we shouldn’t expect better treatment from those around us. Or that anger only serves to damage relationships and leaves us feeling alone or abandoned. Perhaps we have been on the receiving end of someone else’s anger and it has been unpleasant or even frightening. Through experience, we may have seen that our anger only adds fuel to the fire with our children. Our expression of anger may have had destructive results; we may not have experienced positive benefits from our anger. Understanding anger can be quite useful in developing a more positive view of this emotion, which when expressed properly, can actually improve a situation and a relationship.
