DS1 has always been quite late with talking, but speech wise he is on-track now. He used to have tantrums, uncontrollable ones where he literally couldn't hear or listen to what I was saying. Either ignoring or distraction seemed to be the only solution. He grew out of them, or at least they seemed to be much more infrequent. I put them down to him not being able to communicate or express himself that easily.
But they seem to have come back with avengance. And not tantrums now, but just annoyance and frustration. He clenches his fists and mouth and just sort of growls with obvious frustration when something doesn't go his way. So if his brother takes a toy off of him, or I stop him playing on the Wii after a few games at the weekend. He just seems so angry and frustrated.
When he has calmed down, I ask him and he says he is "angry". I talk to him that growling and getting mad isn't good behaviour and he needs to talk to me and tell me if he feels angry. Any ideas on how I can help him to control his emptions a bit? He starts school in September, so of course it's playing on my mind. I've read a bit about the testosterone surge at 4 and I guess this might be that. Will he just 'calm down' with age? I'm wondering if anyone has used any particular strategies to help their own DC in a similar way / other experiences?
