My three year old boy is extremely violent (biting, hitting, kicking, screaming)when he gets angry. He also has been asked to leave a number of childcare facilities due to this behavior, that seems to be getting worse instead of better. This behavior has necessitated the help of a therapist, whom of which we see once a week.
I have noticed through reading the other postings that a number of parents whose children are also experiencing behavioral problems, have often stated that their children have progressed rapidly in speech, motor skills, and comprehension. My question is this - Is aggressive behavior related to rapid developement/ high intelligence? Or are we (the parents) mistakenly thinking that our children are developing rapidly, when they are really developing normally?
Also, my (only) child has stated that he does not like to be around other children (ie: childcare situations)and that I notice most of his truly violent episodes usually occur in an extremely stimulating environment such as the store. While there are episodes at home, could these be triggered by an overstimulation of some sort?
Thank you for your time,
