hi everyone , im new to all this came across it by accident while searching for some clue to my sons behaviour.
my son joshua will be five in october and since the age of two we have had everyday displays of angry and violent behaviour that just seem to be getting worse.
i have read about the odd on the site and it does sound very much like his behaviour.i am at my wits end with how to cope with him i have tried literally everything but no joy.
it is emotionally and physically draining dealing with him and has put alot of strain on my marriage.
he just dosent seem to be capable of proper interaction with people, for example yesterday i told him he couldnt have a cake and his response was that he didnt like me any more and that hes going to stab me with a knife ! which as im sure you can imagine was both hurtful and shocking coming from the mouth of a four year old.
i also have a daughter ella who is seven and she also seems to bear the brunt of joshuas anger , he has before winded her and given her a black eye , i have tried health visitors but they dont seem to do much so monday i am going to phone up a behaviour therapist to see what they can do. im glad i found this site knowing i can talk to people in the same situation as me helps.
anyway i will stop waffling on thanks for reading and if any one has got any ideas on dealing with joshua i am all ears.
