8 year old DS sudden mood swings

[SuperlativeScrubs]

Over the past year or so DS has gone from a happy and relaxed boy to having mood swings almost daily. It is like he has hit puberty without showing any biological symptoms although I doubt very much it is precocious puberty.

Is this a normal part of boys growing up? I had considered it being lockdown but it has been going on since before then, around September/October time.

Same thing happened to my boy, he went back to 'normal' for a while and now its starting again! He is 11. I read up about it when he was 8 and vaguely remember they get hormonal changes at that age. Maybe worth reading up about it. Good luck
