What are some tips on dealing with anger?

Use "I" Statements Rather than "You"

Do not use "you" statements, (e.g., "You will never learn.") Think in terms of "I" (e.g., "I do not like picking your toys up every day") These are less hurtful and you are showing your child that you are taking responsibility for your own emotions.
