How To Communicate With A Child Who Is Angry Or Emotional

How do I communicate with a child who is angry or emotional?

When communicating with a child who is angry or emotional, most parents engage. It's a trigger, you attract what you project. So, if the child is angry, then it's very easy to get caught up in the child's anger. But you have choices, you have a choice not to do that. A better choice when communicating with an angry or emotional child would be, "I see you're really upset, you're really bothered by this. I'd like to know more about it." "I" statements, will flatten the anger or emotion out faster than anything I know.
