I wonder if anyone has any book recommendations or tips for me on how to help my 7 year old with his anger. He gets angry at the flick if a switch for minor reasons (obviously not minor to him). Worryingly he has begun to punch himself in the face when he's angry abdvthis has been going on for a year on and off
I've tried to help him understand his anger, empathise with and validate his feelings and we've talked about alternative strategies for dealing with anger such as punching a cushion, doing star jumps, running around the garden. Nothing has worked and I feel like an utter failure! Any help much much appreciated.
