hot headed 10 year old?

Question

my 10 year old goes from happy to very pissed off in 2 point 2 seconds. How can I stop this?

Answer 1

Misbehaving and emotion children are always difficult to deal with.



However, you do have a few options.



I would recommend taking him into a child psychologist, especially if it is considerably bad. If he's constantly throwing tantrums on a moments notice for no apparent reason, I would advise talking to a professional. They will be able to assess the parent/child relationship, mental stability of the child, and whether or not the child will need medical help or medication. If it's as bad as it seems, I would definately go to a child psychologist.



Another option would be to ignore his tantrums. Many children misbehave or throw a fit because they know it gives them what they want or the attention they get.



Consider the child in the grocery store that screams evertime the parent refuses to buy them candy. If the parent gives in every time the child screams, consequently, the child learns that screaming equals candy. If the parent were to ignore the screaming child and dicipline him (i.e. "Go out and sit in the car until you can learn to be better behaved.") then the child would learn that screaming isn't going to get him the candy.



The same could be applied to a "hot headed 10 year old." If your child is screaming and becoming pissed off because he or she knows it will get them candy or attention, they will continue to do so until taught otherwise.



Dicipline is key to forming good children. Now, dicipline may not be the action needed in this case, I know not considering I don't know all the details, however, usually it comes down to the fact that the child needs to be diciplined and learn that being "hot headed" wont get them anywhere.



I hope this helped, and good luck. If you want/need to know anymore information, feel free to email me: [e-mail]

Ego minded turn off, just take things away from him until he understand his behavior needs to be handle first. If he refused. Just keep on taking his pride away from him, this is the same process in the real world. Otherwise he hasn't been waken and will keep on using his weekiness and become the worst enemy against you. 10 year old is narrow minded and has no understand how to control their behavior and week to communicate correctly. So, just don't give up my fair caring being you are doing the right thing because you love him and knows what is the best thing for him. He doesn't know that because he is sick of being watch by you and thinking the wrong way, thinking you are against him which you are not!

It's part of puberty. He needs to learn how to control this, so try some counseling. If there is no change, try medication. My sister was like that as a youngster, come to find out, she was bi-polar. This is not the case for every child who is in this situation! Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in medicating to solve behavioral problems, however, for some children it is necessary. Try the counseling first though.

Answer 4

My 11 year old has his moments. He likes to breathe deep...it takes reminding. Sit down and talk to him about ways to control the moodiness...by the way it's been about a year since my son's hormones started kicking in (body odor and staring at ladies). Deoderant is controlling the odor part. All people have mood swings, help yours kid control them withpositive reinforcement. Give him ideas on how to control (deep breathes and exercising)

Answer 5

Medication

Answer 6

i don;t think you can right now. his hormones must be going crazy. no medication won't work, he's just frustated because of what is happening to him. Just be patient. He will grow out of it. and one day he will probably turn to you and completely apologize for all the years he caused you pain. At least that's what happened to me when i got older. I was a terror growing up, and for no other reason then my hormones.

Answer 7

he's still behaving like a 3 year old. just hold him under a cold shower for a few minutes when he acts up really badly. do it now while he's still little.

Answer 8

try to find out what hes pissed about. also you should take him to a therapist, that would definitely help.

Answer 9

Maybe you should take him to the doctor and ask about it..Talk to him and ask him what's bothering him

Answer 10
