[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't think it's environmental: screens or divorce, or whatever else people always like to point to.

My kids are terminally online and are very calm people. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times (combined) they've had tantrums in their lives - and they're 19 and 14.

Personality and volatility are mostly determined by genetic predisposition, so look to the parents. Were any of you volatile? Could you have been but were disciplined so much you were controlled by fear instead?

Impulsivity and anger like this is are red flags for hyperactive ADHD and anxiety. A neurotypical 9 year old does not have full blown tantrums like this, OP. You should have your daughter evaluated by a psychologist, because if she has ADHD, anxiety, or something else that's diagnosable, it's not going to go away by itself. It will need a specific parental approach, and quite likely therapy and medication.

You’re a moron. You’d rather medicate kids than improve their lifestyle? No wonder you raised screen-addicted dummies.[/quote]

PP you replied to. Ha ha. My ADHD kid graduated with a 4.67 wgpa and scored a 35 out of 36 on his ACT. My non-ADHD kid will rack up 14 AP courses. Who are you calling a moron?

You need to accept that some children need psychiatric and therapeutic support. I am not saying that OP's child needs that. I am saying that OP needs to observe their kid and do their research, because a 9 year old having a tantrum like this is NOT normal.
