TY - JOUR T1 - Fifteen-minute consultation: The angry child JF - Archives of disease in childhood - Education & practice edition JO - Arch Dis Child Educ Pract Ed SP - 11 LP - 15 DO - 10.1136/archdischild-2017-314020 VL - 104 IS - 1 AU - Annie Swanepoel Y1 - 2019/02/01 UR - http://ep.bmj.com/content/104/1/11.abstract N2 - Children who present with difficult behaviours due to underlying anger are commonly presented to paediatricians for help and advice. This paper gives a basic structure of how to approach the subject, by exploring whether the problems occur at home, school or both, and analysing the behaviour by focusing on antecedents, behaviour and consequences. It is important to find the underlying causes in order to know what to recommend, as this can vary from medication, anger management strategies, school-based interventions, parenting programmes or family therapy.
