[quote=Anonymous]My 11 y/o DS has always had trouble getting past being angry. He is not violent and has never gotten in trouble at school or anything serious, but he is just the type of person who "holds on to things" for a long time. He has a real righteous sense of justice and when he thinks he's been wronged (whether or not he's correct), he just can't let it go. This typically escalates into a situation where he becomes argumentative, defiant or disrespectful to me and DH, which results in further consequences beyond whatever the original issue was. Essentially, his inability to get past being angry ends up making the whole thing worse. We've tried to help him see that and he has learned some level of self-control but he has a long way to go. I think this is just his personality, but he's got to learn to manage it. I'm just not sure how to help him do that. [/quote]
