Many children have occasional temper tantrums and meltdowns. They may be defiant when it comes to doing tasks or chores that they dislike or lash out when they are frustrated or angry. However, when a child is unable to express and control their anger, and repeatedly engages in destructive behaviors, it might be more than typical behavior.
Here are some signs that your child may require help:
Difficulty with developing and maintaining relationships with others
Aggression
Low frustration tolerance
Immature behaviour
Disruption in the family
Therapy can help your child see their anger differently, and maintain or regain control of their temper. Therapy will also help teach the child to contemplate their anger and anger-inducing situations, as well as work through behavioral solutions such as self-control, relaxation and problem-solving.
