Sometimes children will say to us, "just go away" when they're angry. What's happening with that and what should you do? Well, first we have to understand that anger is always a response to deeper feelings that are scary like fear or painful like hurt. So when your child is angry she doesn't want to feel those other feelings. They're bubbling up. And she wants to stay angry. If you're with her and you're being compassionate, she going to burst to tears and feel those feelings that she really doesn't want to feel. So you actually don't want to go away and leave her alone because that will mean she'll just sop those feelings back down again and will come up another time. And in the meantime, she's more rigid and difficult. So, what do you do? You say to her, "okay, sweetie, I hear you telling me to go away. I'm going to step back a couple of steps but I'm not going to leave you alone with this big scary feelings. I'm right here when you need me". And you're assuming presence, a safe presence that create safety for her to feel the feelings that are coming up for her.
