3 and half year old temper outbursts when I misinterpret him

[madeit]

My child, 4 in October,gets really really angry if he says something and I misinterpret what he is said or say pardon if I have not heard it. He gets frustrated and will scratch, hit and shout. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to help him deal with his frustration or find an alternative way of expressing his anger. His speech is fairly normal. My hearing is not abnormal but I am a little hard of hearing. I am addressing this.

umm sounds like normal 4 year old behaviour to me.

I don't want to come across as critical of you, but it sounds like you might be thinking he's in charge of everything and has a right to demand you pay complete attention to everything he wants all the time.

that's normal for him, he's 4 and his world revolves around what he wants but you probably have to be a bit firm with him to help him understand it doesn't.

Thanks not critical. Yes I think that's a fair point.
