[QUOTE="Malika, post: 522603, member: 11227"] My sense of all this - after a lot of research and reading, and talking, as doubtless everyone here on this board - is that there are basically two diagnoses that at a certain point in time got lumped together in the DSM. One is hyperactivity and the other is attention deficit. A child who is not hyperactive but who has problems of attention will (of course?) not have problems with rages or tantrums. But hyperactivity goes along with severe impulse control problems, difficulty accepting frustration - and this is what causes the tantruming and fits of anger. It honestly is part of the checklist for ADHD (obviously referring to the kids with H) because I've seen it many times and have had it described to me by a child psychiatrist. My own sense, again, is that the child's basic personality also plays into things and determines just how angry a child will get. [/QUOTE]
