[QUOTE="Angela41, post: 539092, member: 14703"] My son doesn't act out to the extent that you are describing, but he does rage frequently at home. He's a strong 5 1/2 year old boy, so I hear you... It's worrisome and exhausting. We're working hard on coping skills. I think that some kids escalate so quickly that there is virtually no time for them to reign in their behavior or for parents to adjust to prevent a meltdown. Sometimes the rage is a bombardment or just out of the blue. The very good signs are that your son exhibits remorse and strong attachments. Something is preventing him from coping well, but it's not a lack of empathy. The things that you are describing sound like poor emotional self-regulation, impulse control problems, and possible sensory issues. Based on what I've read, it sounds like severe ADHD--perhaps with the hyperactivity and impulse control problems and mild to no distractability. It can look that way- a child can be focused (often hyperfocused) and have severe behavior issues. This is just my unqualified opinion. [/QUOTE]
