Turning 4 - rage over so many things

My Son is Turning 4. I am an OT and have worked extensively with behavioral kids. My son is very rigid and tantrums with violence to himself, the walls/floors, me, or his sister. I am extremely consistent with behavior programs - it works against me at times but has also helped with the behaviors. I find I struggle with offering situations that will ease him through the day instead of punishing the fits, but when I able to find the energy to think and act ahead many issues can be avoided.... I need to somehow find the strength/energy to do this more constantly. So those are my insights and goals for myself.

what about fuctioning in society?
by: Sherry

Hi, your son sounds so much like my 3yr old grandson and we too have struggled with some sort of discipline or work hard at keeping things according to his standard. The world isnt going to treat him the same so I have some concerns about keeping everything his way. He has behavior issues over what is put in his sippy cup, can only wear long sleeves and pants, doesnt share easily with siblings. Does when forced. bedtime has to be his routine or else it major meltdown. He has to brush his teeth, check light(has to be on) wants no one in his room, kisses and hugs at doorway, then he locks the door and says night, slams the door. One cant interrupt the process or else. In his room is a mattress with dog pillow pet and a few of his favorite cars. He destroys any furniture put in there. He has appt. to be tested in Sept.

Rage
by: Anonymous

That sounds a lot like my son. He is 7 and we put him on ADHD meds which has helped some. Due to the cost involved in taking the meds we try to go without on Sat. There is a marked increase in the behavior problems and the rage. At least on meds his rage seems to be slightly less.
