My 4year old's behavior issues.

[kyky805]

Why is my 4year old son so angry,he mainly gets upset when he doesn't get his way,which i would think of as just having a tantrum,but I notice this year compare to last year he is acting up alot at school now,he was not like this last year what happen it is the same school but it is new teachers and alot more kids than last year. The classroom setting last year was smaller than this year. I just don't understand what is making him so angry.


This discussion is related to my 4yr old is so angry.

He has found that he gets attention through this behavior and he is asserting his authority and rebeling against other authority, in other words he wants his way at all costs, and he is too yung o realize he consequences of his actions.  You must be creative in setting up consequenses that will get his attention and make him want to change his way, as well as finding ways to remove hi frombeing the center of attention, and be able to ignore his bad behavior

Have you tried asking him what makes him angry? Have you spoken with his teachers to see what they have to say about his behavior, what they think is triggering it?
