In this episode, Jack Pattinson talks to Clare about understanding and supporting anger. He discusses the importance of separating the behaviour from the emotion, and looks at ways to respond, rather than react, when your child feels angry.

As Managing Director at Codevelo Training and Consultancy, Jack delivers a variety of training courses and workshops, helping staff to reflect on and further improve their practice around inclusion.

He also shares three tips during the episode:

• When you feel under pressure, take the time to pause, reflect, and choose your response.
• Nobody else’s opinion matters when it comes to your child’s behaviour.
• Try to separate the behaviour from the emotion and think about what the underlying cause might be.
