Anger management is necessary to make sure that anger does not become a danger to the person who feels the emotion or the objects of their actions because of this emotion. Those people who do not have effective anger management skills can be harmful to themselves and to others. People who cannot control their emotions can often be most harmful to the people who are closest to them. This is particularly worrisome if they have young children who do not have the ability to protect themselves. Some small children are most dependent on people with anger management problems.
