four year old behavior problems

by slewis901, Nov 01, 2009 01:32PM
My four year old has extreme rage issues. He has put holes in walls, scratched other vehicles, and even pushed his 1 year old sister down the stairs. The more we crack down on the behavior the more agressive he gets. He thew the time out chair accross the room at me just missisng his older brother who has ADHD. Both me and my husband have mental inless. My husband is scizoeffective and I am bipolar. We have had him evaluated but the doctor says that he's too young to do anthing with. So are we to walk on eggshells around him fearing his next outbreak won't be at a friends house or store. What can I do to help him. We have been in play therapy with him and nothing helps.

Play therapy will not be useful in this situation. The family history makes him at risk for serious menatl health issues and you are likely witnessing the manifestation of this. I suggest you seek a second opinion with a child psychiatrist.
