When you look at an iceberg, on the surface you are only seeing a fraction of what is really going on underneath. Underneath is a jagged, complicated mass of problems. Much like a Child’s behaviour. What you see on the surface, is not a true reflection of what is really going on underneath.

To avoid the outburst in the first place, it is good to identify the triggers that cause us to erupt. Read Dave's advice and download our free Trigger Worksheet.
Anger is an emotion that everyone feels. It is how we express our anger, where it can become a problem. Find out about anger management and behavioural change plus Dave's top tips on anger management.
