Participants also responded to 13 questions that arose from a preliminary literature review.\r\nThe responses to these questions were summarized in seven primary themes: (a) anger is a part of the parenting relationship; (b) self-awareness of our own anger helps us manage more constructively; (c) outside factors such as fatigue, time constraint, repetition, competing demands, and noncompliance can affect anger arousal and its prolongation; (d) having a support network enables us to\r\nput our experience in perspective and be more accepting of our own experiences; (e) books, videos, and parenting courses are among the most influential sources in helping parents to deal with anger constructively; (f) children need to see and learn how to handle anger; and (g) anger needs to be accompanied with an explanation and a resolution. These themes represent the contextual thinking and actions that facilitate the constructive use of anger between a mother and her preschool child.","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.format.extent","value":"7148374 bytes","language":null},{"key":"dc.format.mimetype","value":"application\/pdf","language":null},{"key":"dc.language.iso","value":"eng","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.publisher","value":"University of British Columbia","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights","value":"For non-commercial purposes only, such as research, private study and education.
