Out of Control – Accompanying and (Co-)regulating Anger in Children (& Adolescents)

Kennst Du das?

Just a moment ago, everything was fine. And suddenly, the situation explodes.

Your child is screaming, crying, hitting, kicking, or biting. Perhaps they simply run away and are completely unreachable. You try to stay calm, speak kindly, want to help—and at the same time, you notice yourself becoming increasingly tense.

What on earth should I do now?

Why can’t the child get out of this on their own?

And why is this pushing me to my own limits right now?

We know these moments in everyday pedagogical life, too. A child is completely out of control and we stand there, searching for the right words and strategies, sometimes just wishing for an “off button.”

Teenagers, too, can be so overwhelmed by their feelings that a rational conversation is no longer possible.

But what actually happens during a tantrum? Why can’t children simply calm themselves down? And why do they need a secure and stable adult by their side especially then?

Anger is certainly a feeling that challenges us particularly strongly as parents, teachers, school assistants, yoga teachers, or coaches. Because when a child is “out of control,” we often reach our own limits as well.

In this specialist training, we dedicate ourselves to these questions, among others:

• What happens in the brain during a tantrum?
• Why can’t children regulate themselves?
• What do children need when they are “out of control”?
• How can we provide support and orientation without making the anger even greater?
• What do we need ourselves to remain calm, present, and confident in our actions in such situations?

We look at why anger is important, what might be behind it, and how we can support children and teenagers in developing self-regulatory skills step by step.

It’s not about always having the perfect method ready. Rather, it’s about understanding: What is happening right now—with the child and with me?

You will certainly experience many “aha” moments and afterwards be able to understand anger better and guide it more confidently.

The training is for everyone who lives or works with children:

Educators, parents, (children’s) yoga teachers, teachers, physiotherapists, and all interested parties.

After this training, you will have strategies for dealing with your own anger and for situations in which children and teenagers are overwhelmed by their anger.

Denn Kinder lernen am Modell. And so, self-regulation always begins with us, too.
