So apparently my 10yr old son has my anger issues. :shifty:
Not really but the kid is constantly yelling at adults, (screeching really) making demands of them in a not so nice way. If something doesn't go his way he threatens to "run away forever"
It's like toddler tantrums x100
He rages and rants for ever about unimportant crap.... obviously important to him.
For example: last night he gave me his Yu-Gi Oh cards to hold onto while he has hockey practice....(they're a trading card game he plays with his buddies at school during recess)
This morning, as we're leaving my place to go to the bus stop and take garbage down he comes racing outside screaming "Dad! Dad! Dad!"
I was listening to his little sister at the time so i asked him to wait a minute.
He freaks out, screeched "Where's my cards!!" then stomp/runs back into the house to get his cards.
Comes back out yelling at me about .... i'm not even sure what cuz at this point im doing everything in my power not to go off on him and figure out wtf his problem really is...
He slams his backpack down before i could even respond, runs down the driveway without his garbage screaming that hes running away and we'll never see him again...
I took the garbage and reminded him to make better choice, to breathe and calm down...
he's still screaming random stuff about how nobody cares about him, he's not going to school etc.
finally grabs his bag, comes for a hug.
i give him a hug but his bus is now waiting so i had to cut the short and told him to go quickly and he walks to the bus screaming, again, about how i dont care.
really, really don't know what to do with that.
i took his cards away for a month.
Not sure how to help him if he's not even going to try to settle himself down so we can have a discussion.
Not sure if this is even normal behaviour for his age. A boy thing?
I don't remember my older daughter acting this ... i dunno, dysregulated?.. ever!
Anyone elses kids go through this nasty rage type of stage- where everything is urgent right now and the normal speaking tone seems to be snarky and volume is at screech level almost constantly?
