Sometimes children that come from broken homes need a way to convey their frustrations and anger associated with what they have had to deal with. Since some of the kids are prone to violence and/or violent behavior, specialists have stated that the best way to deal with this is to nurture this rage and use that energy productively. One of the best ways is to use pillows, as they can’t really hurt anybody, but allows the kid to swing them and use up that negative energy. You can even go so far as to allow the kid to draw on the pillow case to represent good and bad thoughts and that way they can beat the bad side and hug and snuggle with the good side. While this may seem a bit hard to understand, the fact that the child can associate the hugging and snuggling with the good things in their life, they will find that they are less likely to be violent due to using that energy on the bad side of the pillow. This approach has seen many positive results.
