[quote=Anonymous]PEP is great for some parenting issues, but this is extreme behavior in response to a reasonable expectation of a child. Unless he has a mental illness, the parents are somewhat to blame. I know several adult men who fly into rages over tiny frustrations. All had permissive parents who radiated helplessness during childhood temper tantrums. I don't yell at, shame, or physically intimidate my kids, but I made sure they were very unhappy with their post-tantrum life. They quickly learned the consequences for these outbursts were much worse than whatever initially set them off. By three, they learned how to calm themselves and then self-advocate. My older child is an adult now and credits her ability to avoid social drama as an adolescent to those skills. [/quote]
