①Anger often makes us uncomfortable. Seeing your child’s anger can be especially uncomfortable. In order to relieve (缓解) this feeling, parents will often encourage children to “stop crying” and say things like “It’s nothing to cry about?” It’s moments like these that plant the seeds of unhealthy anger. If a child never sees his or her parent express anger, he or she should never express anger, either. But if a parent always expresses their anger loudly, the child may start to think of anger as something that is always frightening. So we should learn how to create healthier anger in our kids.
②The first thing you can do to create healthier anger in your children is to practice creating healthier anger in yourself. Once you’re better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you’ll be able to set a good example for your kids.
③Stopping kids from expressing their feelings is wrong. You may feel bad when you believe you are wrong. When children express their feelings and are told that it’s nothing to cry about, they come to know that they themselves are bad.
④We need to raise them in an environment where it’s safe to express feelings. Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger, you can teach your children why anger is a helpful feeling. When your kid expresses anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry? How did it do that? Then, you can teach them that those feelings are never wrong and our expressions of our feelings are in our control.
⑤Anger is natural and normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.

When you wake up in the middle of the night with a nightmare (噩梦), you must be very scared. Don’t be in fear because it’s just a bad dream. Well, maybe you’ve gotten a chance to relax, because nightmares might actually be good for you.
According to New York Magazine, bad dreams can improve your mental (心理的) health. Most nightmares come from real-life worries, such as an upcoming exam, or terrible things you’ve seen. To reduce these worries, the brain turns the dream into a story in the form of a bad dream. So a bad dream can keep you away from anxieties (忧虑), and turn something you’re worried about now into a memory (记忆). The result is that when you wake up you’re able to move forward and face the future.
A study in The Atlantic Magazine, showed similar results. In a survey of more than 700 French students taking a medical school entrance exam, over 60 percent had bad dreams about the test the night before. These included not finishing on time, leaving a question blank, or being late. Those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn’t. It shows that nightmares can actually help us prepare for the future.
So, the next time you wake up at night after a bad dream, it may be the brain is putting your fears behind you and readying you for the future. Although a nightmare may make you afraid for a short time, it may help you get out of the bad things. We should try to accept our nightmares rather than allow them to keep us awake. After all, lack of sleep causes more problems than dreaming.
