Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Please answer some of my questions.
1. Does she get angry every time or only when her wishes are not fulfilled?
2. Does she get angry with any specific person or everyone in general?
3. Is she on some medication? What does her school teacher report?

These details can help me to understand her problem.

Anger is a form of decreasing stress, protest and a way to make your job done.
Take time and talk to her. Ask her why she gets angry.
Ask her if she is stressed out or irritated with something.

Counsel her well. If you are unable to do it go to a child counselor for anger management.
Yoga can help. Keep her involved in some hobby or activity.

Hope this answers your query.

Regards
