Child Anger Management Issues

Dr. Sailaja Pisapati
Child Anger Management Issues

My seven-year-old son has anger management issues. Sometimes when he is very angry, he bangs his head against walls. Please help!

— Sheela Roy, Chennai

You need to ascertain the root causes of your son’s anger. Does he get frustrated when his demands are not met? Is he imitating or role modelling adult behaviour? Is he throwing temper tantrums only to attract your sympathy and attention? It might help to ignore his head banging behaviour, and instead encourage him to canalise his anger through appropriate ways such as discussing his apprehensions, frustrations and anxieties with you and ideating solutions.
