My 4yr old son is sensitive..observant..inquisitive but aggressive. We try to handle his aggressiveness calmly but at times I do loose my cool as I am the one spending most time with him. On his cooling, I explain to him. He agrees ....but mostly its back to square one. I feel he is such cos he has not had kids around and gets jumbled up in excitement and expressing. But maybe I am biased being his mother. What troubles me more....gives me sleepless nights is when prople swuirm and mock us because of him. worst thing is that he catches their body language. just fyi, he enjoys and prefers older kids like 7years onwards and not his own or younger...sadly we do not get often. I think I will go into depression. thanks for reading this patiently.

Firstly, try to figure out why does he turn aggressive. What makes him angry? Some kids tend to have such behaviour and reason can be that he is hyper-active and he has too much energy that after a point of time he gets bored and gets aggressive because of this boredom. I suggest, you enrol him in a play school or some extra-curricular classes so that he has something new to get engaged into. He will have other kids around and slowly and steadily under the guidance of the teachers in the play school, he will learn how to behave with other kids. It will take some time but he would be fine. Brief the teachers in the play school about how he turns aggressive so that they can particularly address this issue. And if you still don't see a change then you can see a child psychologist. They interact with many cases like such and they know how to deal with a kid. It must be a normal issue which can be sorted with little counselling, so do not worry and don't lose your peace of mind. https://www.empoweringparents.com/article/hitting-biting-and-kicking-how-to-stop-aggressive-behavior-in-young-children/ https://www.loveandlogic.com/articles-advice/helping-aggressive-toddlers-and-preschoolers-started-before-its-too-late
