Hello
I am writing to ask you ladies' opinion and any idea please.
My son is a 10year old boy, so so sweet and clever but sometime over competetive. He never shouts or misbehaves at home-he sometimes fights with 1year younger sister but I guess it happens every home with siblings.
I was called to the school several times regarding his temper control problem. Once the head teacher called me because my son blamed one of the boy who is in the same football team for losing the game. I know my son gets over competitive when he plays sports I apologised behalf of him and we had a big chat.
A few months later , I was called again because while the boys were playing cricket one boy got upset and threw a ball at my son and he punched the boy. So we apologised and I was recommended a therapist for my son.
However, I wasn't sure if it is the level that he needs to see a specialist. Some of my friends say those things happen between boys. Of course I don't agree with any physical/emotional abuse but aren't the boys still do stuffs while growing? Does it never happen with ordinary boys?
Today I was told that my son missed his football tournament chance because he argued with a boy with the football and my son headlocked the boys and hurted him. My son said it was because it was his class's turn to play football and that boy kept interupting the game with taking the ball and saying my son didnt play it well. I told him with any reason, it's upaccpetable.
But I still think when there are two boys involved the fight, isn't it fair for both of them lose the chance?
Am I too much being on my son's side?
The head teacher says when my son is upset, he is really upset and can't control his temper. He doesn't shout but he finds it difficult to explain why he is upset when he is angry. Does that mean he has a problem with temper management?
My son said kids tease him saying he can't manage his temper and it makes him so unhappy. It was so heartbreaking that he looks himself as a troubled boy and others even tease with it.
Do you have any similar stories? Can you spot out any problem I don't see? Any advice or opinion?? Anything would help. Thanks.
