Parental Anger
May 6, 2015
Intrinsic motivation is conducive to creativity; controlling extrinsic motivation is detrimental to creativity.
-Daniel H. Pink

"Since all parents experience and display anger at some point during parenthood, how can teachers tell if a parent's anger is out of control and should be considered a problem?" asks Roberta Wilburn in her article "Parental Anger: Causes, Triggers, and Strategies to Help," which is one of the articles to read as part of the Exchange CEU packet, Involving Parents in Your Program. She continues...

"Dr. Hendrie Weisinger has identified five indicators that can help you determine if a parent has an anger management problem. These indicators have to do with the intensity, frequency, and impact on interactions with others. If you have a parent who you believe is having difficulty with anger, you can use the five indicators below to assess whether you should try to assist the parent with getting help in dealing with their anger:

  • Anger episodes occur frequently.
  • The anger reactions are often intense or at high levels.
  • Parental anger lasts for a long period of time after the initial incident took place.
  • The anger reaction leads to verbal or physical aggression.
  • Parental anger negatively impacts the child, the parent-child relationship, relationships with teachers and other parents, or cause disruption of classroom activities."

With reference to the article about Parental anger, I would like to commend the effort put in to list down the 'symptoms' , yet in my personal and humble opinion, the outbursts of a parent can not be gauged by the teacher who has minimal interactions with that parent. However, the child who is the link between school and home would be the best one.
The child's behavior will be the guide for the teacher to know about the happenings at home. Hence eventually teacher has to be really on a look out to observe any change or negativity in the behavior of the child.
