Anger can be a weird emotion! It's important to let it out, but it's also important not to hurt anyone! If you're afraid of your brother, you need to tell a grown up. If he misdirects his anger (like when he's angry at Mom but yells at you), just get away from him until he cools down. Humor can help, too! When he gets angry, try a line like, "Whoa! It's the king of the jungle time! I'm outta here!" And then go somewhere else for a while. Sometime when he's not angry, you may want to tell him how you feel. Maybe he doesn't know he's scaring you! Offer to lead him to a pile of pillows when he gets upset. He can yell at them and pound it all out of his system! You might even want to join in!
