Is your child the type to come right out and tell you when he is feeling angry? Does he stuff his anger inside? Perhaps he is most likely to express his feelings in sneaky ways. Or maybe, when he is mad, the whole world knows about it—and better step aside! Whatever your child’s anger style, chances are he has developed it over the years and modeled it after…gulp…much-loved family members.

>Great passive aggressive clip and angry smile example on last night’s episode of ABC’s Modern Family. At the beginning of the clip, Gloria is open and honest with her anger at Jay for not respecting her Colombian customs, but when she finds her direct expressions mocked, she turns to more covert means of getting her point across:

The “interview” clips are always the best part of this show. I love her self-satisfied angry smile as she explains her chicken-slapping revenge. Can’t get enough of this show!

>Diary of a Wimpy Kid

>My husband and kids have been telling me about the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books and movie for months now, but it took a suggestion from an LSCI co-worker to get me to rent the just-released DVD. The film was a huge hit with my 7-year old, not to mention chock-full of examples of passive aggressive behavior.
The scenes between older brother, Roderick, and the main character, Greg are prime examples of passive aggression between siblings. From the opening scene, where Roderick sets Greg up to awaken at 4am for the first day of school (an entire week before school starts!) to Greg getting his own passive aggressive revenge by putting Roderick’s forbidden “girly” magazine into the hands of their baby brother (for which Roderick is grounded for 4 weeks and loses driving privileges), both brothers have the angriest of smiles and the most hilariously hostile sibling relationship.
Have you seen the film or read the books yet? Does your relationship with your own sibling resemble the passive aggression between Roderick and Greg?
Thanks, Suzanne, for the movie recommendation!
