      My son has attended behavioral class in school and I can see slight improvements … Thanks to the teachers of YZPS. Sometimes it needs external parties to help resolve issues:)

        smurf:
        I dunno where to post this, so I start a new thread.


        My boy who is 6 now has anger management problem I suspect, and he is very emotional.

        This scenario happens on daily basis:

        Sometimes when I'm busy, maybe doing some writing or making milk, etc. My boy would come to me and ask some questions (very joyously), no anger. When I told him sternly or firmly, 'mama is busy now'. Sometimes I add in, 'can I do it later?. IMMEDIATELY, he changes colour. Change from joy to angry, very angry. Almost furious. And he will REFUSE to talk to me even when I answer his question. If I dun answer him or ignore him, he will NOT let go,he will remember and remember and will later use this to rebuke me later, for whatever reason. 记仇 I would say.

        Sometimes i would ask him, 'what's wrong with you?' then he will be angrier.

        When I ask him some questions, sometimes he answers them nicely, but sometimes, he shouts. I dunno for what reason, he shouts. After that, he would apologize for his bad manner. he does know that these are bad manner and behavior.
        I dunno why he behaves the way he behaves (hooligan behave I called that).

        I really dunno what to do. I read up the web, and came across this : oppositional defiant disorder

        Do I need to bring him to see a physchiatrist? :?:
        Your reaction sounds kinda familiar to me - not your son's. 😆 For me, when I have thousand and one things to do - or in my mind, I get irritable easily. And I am like a time-bomb walking around. Many times like these, we do not notice until it is too late - like raising my voice or yelling.

        Anyway, like what you said, patience is the key. And to remember to pop some sugary food into my mouth (since I'd be usually be drained of energy without realizing too) 😉

              that’s a good article you’ve shared there! but it seems to be focusing on pri school students. what about secondary sch students who are more rebellious? will the advice help too?
