Behaviour problemsabout 1 year agoI am having problems with my 4 year old son, and need help!! It started maybe 6 months ago, but has gradually become worse. He shouts all the time, and once he has got himself so wound up and angry, he cannot be reasoned with. He isn’t bothered about the consequences of his actions, if told he will loose toys, etc, he shouts back that he isn’t bothered. Once he gets in a really bad mood, nothing can calm him down. He has now started to take his frustrations out using physical force. He slams doors, throws things, and he has even started lashing out at teachers, and me. But on good days he is fantastic, and he is sooo clever. There is nothing that happens to start these ‘tantrums’ he can be fine one minute, then not the next. Yesterday, he just woke up in a ‘bad mood’. At nursery, the teachers said when he wasn’t shouting, and throwing things, he was crying (which is very unlike him). He had to be removed from the class because when he was restrained from throwing a chair, he scratched one of the teachers neck. But the day before his teachers said he was fantastic, and didn’t shout at all. Nothing at all was different to make him behaviour this way. Do you think this is just a phase he is going through? Someone mentioned he may have ADHD, but he doesn’t seem to have any other symptoms. Someone else mentioned it may be something he eats? I have browsed the internet but cannot find anything useful. Can anyone recommend any websites, groups for me to go to? I’m tearing my hair out! I hate going to collect him and listening to the things my little boy does! |

Re: Behaviour problemsabout 1 year agoHi...you have your hands full with your 4 year old...I would make a food diary and document what he eats, incase of a food intolerance....also, try and remember if anything major to his world, happened around the 6 months ago point, ie. bullying at nursery, friend or close relative moving away, or something in your world...like job change etc...it may be his way of showing his frustrations. The other thing that springs to mind is to take him to the Doctors and ask to be referred to a child therapist, I have heard if you insist on seeing a specialist for their opinion, a Doctor can't refuse ?...good luck and let us know how things go |
