Our 6 year old son. Has a problem with change in day to day life. Will stick with some thing for hours for example. He came home from school Wen. with gifts for the family and I had told him there for Christmas and he freaked out all night about it and in to the next day. After I had told him over and over. Its little things like this that make the every night go bad he finds some thing every night after school that he wants to do knowing we will say no so then he will ask over and over and over all night. Crying screaming at us lashing out on his brothers and Sister hitting him self throwing his body all over. But in school does not show any of this he is very well behaved at school he has only came home 2 times this year with a red card and they were both for talking to much never any thing with being bad. His hand Writing is wonderful his math is really good and he is at a 2nd grade reading level. We just do not know where to go from here.
Love Parents that need help.

yes that is what I suspected and it happens a lot in families ,sometimes due to jealousy that older children have for a younger child, you say 'they make the bad come out in him' so I think he is goaded, teased by them .I suggest that you fix them and not him ...supervision is the answer, keep him out of their way until they are older and he can handle it . Keep them seperate if you have to, good luck I know its not easy but it is do able

It is all the time at home Weekend after school. His brothers and sister make the bad come out in him at times. They will do things not that big of a deal and he will find some thing wrong with it and freak out about it for hours. We have stopped giving in to him and letting him throw the fit and about after an hour it over till he thinks of it again. But no at school his teacher only has wonderful things to say about him and how nice he is to others and her.

Ya know, my six year old is so exhausted after school.  We try to get him to bed early enough but school is a busy day with much in it that he has to focus on and maintain himself for---  that he just really is tired.  When tired, kids are known for not making sense in their actions (as in throwing fits about things at home).  I always say I get the worst of my son and school/others get the best.  (probably better that way as I'll still love him!)  

Could he be tired?

Does he have a problem in school or is it only at home ,I am wondering if the 'over and over' part is the problem .sometimes its easier to not say too much, sounds like a lot going on ,you say he lashes out at his brothers /sister how do they behave towards him , do they help create any problems ?
