Okay so this morning before school my son (14) was playing XBOX Live and something happened to it so it could not connect to the internet suddenly....
He got so angry to the point he cried (he VERY rarely cries).
Now you are probably thinking all he does is play video games, but actually he doesn't... He has a very busy schedule, gets good grades in school (although gets in fights sometimes), and play Varsity Basketball as well as AAU basketball, and he is a very popular kid.
He uses the XBOX as a relaxing time, and plays for about 1.5 to 2 hours a day, on top of a total of 3.5 hours of basketball practice a day and school.
He just seems to have a very short/hot temper...
Sometimes it feels like the smallest of things can set him off, the other day he got in trouble at school and a referal because he got in a fight because another kid tripped when they were changing classes and bumped into my son (Kobe) as he tripped, so Kobe ended up pushing this kid which made a fight start.
Okay so my question is do any of your kids around the same age as my son ever get like this over something very small, and if so, how do you deal with it? How do you handle them during and after their anger moments?
Many ThanksMy 14 year old son flipped over something so small today, what should I do?14 year old teen boy= average age of top aggression, right know is when all that self control you taught him from his childhood comes into play. Look into anger management techniques.If he does not learn how to handel his anger at this age it will escalate. The anger young man thing. If you or someone else can teach him how to chanel his aggression in a positive way. He will be much better off for years to come.My 14 year old son flipped over something so small today, what should I do?my son is 15..
i ignore and send him in his room
Hormones are dancing in this age,so dont think he is mean or something else...times goes by...My 14 year old son flipped over something so small today, what should I do?im 13 almost 14 too. and im the exact same way.
