[QUOTE="thunder, post: 403315"] Your guy sounds like mine. He is now 11, going on 12, and seems to be getting a better handle on his explosive temper. From his toddler years up until last year, he would have an almost "out of body" meltdown explosion when experiencing frustration. Most of the time his anger was directed at me. I learned however that a child will vent his frustration at those he loves the most. He feels secure in knowing that no matter how he acts, you will still love him (there's a compliment in there somewhere!). As he has gotten older, I have used confining him to his room/grounding him when he gets an outburst, it works somewhat, but what seems to work the best for him is humor....and lots of it. I also feel that a little maturity (although he is very immature for his age) has helped him to understand himself. Wish I had more advice for you. Just wanted to let you know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
