Anger

Many individuals with learning differences often experience to be labelled a problem child, but isn’t it ironic if you express yourself in a certain way you are more problematic than others? I myself always was too scared to express myself with anger. I destroyed myself within instead, honestly, I wish I would have expressed myself outward instead😅. But I see and know many who express themselves with anger.
There is always a reason for the individual's behaviour. People express themselves differently, why do we shame certain ways of expression? Instead of punishing for this emotional outburst, we should listen to what has caused it. I get it it’s not appropriate behaviour, but should we shame a child for letting us know that they are not in a good space? What are we actually teaching the child!? Ofc it’s easier said than done to give time to everyone, but it doesn’t cost us anything to listen to why someone is feeling what they are feeling. Even though the situation may be difficult to change we can always support and make sure the individual's emotional needs are met and hopefully give a better comprehension of the situation. I know many individuals in their adult life would have had a better time if only they would have received the support they needed. What are your thoughts and how did/do you express yourself within the school? And is it different for you today?
