[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 604002, member: 14557"] Aggression can be related to speech delay if he feels he is not understood correctly or can't express his frustrations verbally. However his aggressiveness seems to have started quite late. One of the common reasons for aggressiveness in kids (especially boys) is depression, but what you tell us about him doesn't really sound like that too much either. He is also 6 and at least here (when you are in southernmost tip of Europe, I'm in the opposite) is considered a second big developmental 'difficult time' after terrible twos and before puberty. The point being, that kids learn to express their frustrations verbally instead of physically like they did during terrible twos. Having language delay could of course make that very challenging for him. Does he behave aggressively also at school or just home and with you? What kind of behaviour modification tactics you have tried? How does he explain these aggressive outbursts? Speech delay, like any challenge that effects every day life can easily have psychological and social effects. Have you talked about this behaviour with his speech pathologist? They likely do have experience of the speech delay effects to other development and behaviour. Maybe they could refer him to the psychologist experienced with these issues with kids with speech delay? [/QUOTE]
