My gf has a brother who is 6 year old. He gets angry and violent very easily and hits her and his Mom. At time, there isn't even a trigger. He would snap for no reason. He's can be almost consider abusive. Should he be taken to a counselor or child psychologist? The parent thinks it just a phase but I worry there's something really wrong with him.
Hi,
First I would look at his diet. Does he eat alot of processed foods. GMO foods? What is the quality of the water like. Flouride chlorine in it? Have you given him vaccines?
I suspect if your are in the US it would be a yes to all these questions.
My educated quess is this is what is causing this, as it creates a imbalance in the body and young children can not tolerate this toxic overload. Vaccines alone are highly toxic, mercury you name it, bad news.
If you replace all of this poison with pure Organic food & water & do a gentle detox to rid the body of this, I am sure you would see a great improvement. Also is he being listened to, direct him in things of interest, much love & cuddles and understanding.
So ggod luck, but most of this is diet related & what ever you do stay away from all drugs, they wil only create greater problems. Also make sure toothpaste shampoo cleaning products are pure & natural.
I appreciate the post above....another thing you may want to look into is behavior.
What is causing this. I find that generally children will exhibit this behavior when there is a lack of proper discipline. Hitting should not be tolerated and actions should be taken to instill that.
The supernanny is a great show and I recommend you watch it for advice and tips.
So, many variables!!!! Many great leads. A few books I've read: "The Explosive Child" by Ross W. Greene, PH.D, "Bringing up Boys" by Dr. James Dobson,
"The Bipolar Child" by Poupoulous
These are wonderful responses. And, the recommended books in the above post are fantastic! Your concern is merited, and you are in a tough spot since your hands are sort of tied, not being the parent and loving advice might not be taken as loving advice.
Sometimes a person is angry because truly they are afraid of something & they don't know how to ask for help in dealing with that fear.
Having said that, all children need to be corrected & trained as to how to express anger.
