[quote=Anonymous]You did not address any of the issues, OP, so obviously he's going to do it again. This child needs to understand WHY he's not supposed to do this, HOW to process aggressive feelings, and then he needs to PRACTICE how to pick alternative options and follow through. It's really hard work. Sending him to his room is just washing your hands of him, which is not a recipe for success. You need to sit him down when he's calm, and go through the theory. Get his buy-in. Practice imaginary scenarios. Then when he's about to have a tantrum, you coach him through an alternative. It won't work for the big crises but it might for the little ones. Also, he quite likely has ADHD and needs medication for it. It's hard to control impulsivity when your brain shoots off abnormal levels of neurotransmitters. It's easier when a medication delivers a chemical aid so you can focus just enough to listen and learn. [/quote]
