Q: My 8-year old has a terrible temper. He sees red when he gets angry and will yell, hit or throw things. His anger is always directed at adults, whether it be parents, teachers or other caregivers. He is extremely bright and loving most of the time. We have tried therapy and medication, but the behavior continues. We had to unenroll him from school because of his aggression. He knows how to use breathing to calm down but he has no desire to use calm-down techniques when he is enraged. He was previously diagnosed with anxiety, but the anxiety has improved a great deal. He does not seem to have ADHD according to professionals we have seen. Any recommendations?
