[QUOTE="LoveTempered, post: 762013, member: 28752"] Two of our sons expressed themselves with anger. One of them (not the one I write about on this forum) was finally able to explain what was causing it when he was a sophomore in high school. We had tried many ways to help him but it took him finally realizing the cause to be able to tell us. Until then, he just hated himself for being so angry and mean to us. Like your kiddo, it was at us and at home and nowhere else. It turned out that he had profound social anxiety and some sensory issues that made being in a regular kid's life very hard. He also struggled with some of his classes in a way that we did not understand (he had a 504 for ADHD). Being in the world for most of the day left him so raw that the only thing he had was anger when he came home. We made some changes to his schedule and did not get worried when he wanted to come home and isolate in his room or take a nap after school. It helped along with therapy to guide his ability to recognize and experience his emotions. The therapist says he is highly sensitive which means he feels everything in the room. Can't imagine how horrible it would feel to be in a high school classroom absorbing all those emotions. Not sure if this helps. We had to learn that the anger was trying to communicate something that even HE didn't understand. I can also recommend a book called [I]The Explosive Child [/I]by Ross Greene. It helped with our response to his anger before he could let us know what was going on. Blessings on your journey of love! [/QUOTE]
