Puzzled Mom writes…

I read your parent-tips on anger in a child.You said to name the anger/frustration for the child. I do this for my almost 4-year-old and she gets more angry. "Don't talk to me like that, don't say that." My attempts in helping her to deal with her anger end up with more frustration on her part. Its almost like she is tired of me telling her how she feels. Maybe I should just let her blow off steam until she is not angry anymore but at this age she tends to get a bit sassy. Some days I don't think on my feet as well as I should and I could use some guidance.
