When a child is angry, they can't cry out loud.

Patient's question:

Little baby just started kindergarten. Usually, he is lively and adorable, and plays well with other children. But recently, for some reason, whenever he gets angry, he holds his breath, crying only a few times for a long time, his face turning pale (purple) with anger, and sometimes he can't catch his breath. It scares me so much that my heart feels like it's about to jump out.
What kind of assistance is needed: What does it mean when a child cries only a few times when angry? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

The experience and expression of emotions (such as anger) are different. When one cannot achieve what is desired or feels desperate, resentment naturally arises. Resentment can also be a cover for hurt feelings. A child's anger may stem from parents, other children, themselves, life, or anyone who has angered them. If you or your child feels resentment, it is likely that a dispute has already begun between you. What you should rescue from this is the start of negotiation with them.
