Anger Management for a 9 year old boy suggestions??

Karate would be good, it will teach him how to be patient and take out all the stress and energy that is making him angry. Try to get him to count to ten everytime he gets angry and to breathe, this will give him a chance to calm down, also tell him to go in a seperate room to calm down. If it is really out of control maybe counseling could help. Buy a punching bag and when he gets angry have him punch it until he feels better.

Maybe get him into kick boxing or some self defense class the anger will come out or even get a punching bag if you get one you can tell him when ever he is mad or just wants to get his anger out tell him he can punch it and tell him the rules about not hurting others or get a place in the house where there is just a bean bag chair and a heavy fluffy pillow tell him he can yell in the pillow and get all of his anger out or even combine all three.

When my son was 9 we had problems with his anger/emotions as well. We did the counseling thing and I don't think it helped out that much, just let him know from somebody else that I am in charge. We went through some problems at school as well and then told him if he did one more thing wrong his room would be cleaned out!!! He didn't believe us and did what he wanted and when he got in trouble again, everything was gone from his room. he had a bed with sheets, his dresser with clothes and that was it. All his toys and privileges were gone for everything. No screens (tv, gameboy, Xbox360, everything) He then had to earn everything back by being good, and he eventually did. We had to do this twice for him to realize he needed to straighten up and we haven't had any more bad problems since. Good luck!

DO NOT get him councelling at such a young age. You need to see what you are not doing and how he reacts to certain situations. You need to spend alot of time with him and get him involved, when he does something good, praise him. He will learn and also gain respect for you and become a more well behaved kid. I could say alot more but ill let you do the rest.

Does he have anger problems if he does send him to brantridge school

We did something similar as answerer KSW - using the tough love approach via Dr. Laura guidelines.

Harsh, but truly in a loving way.

Our son at that age finally gave up when I served him his supper on the floor in his bedroom, just put the plate down there, nicely, and told him he wasn't welcome to eat with the family because of his behaviour.

It hurt ME, but it fixed him.

Yeah ,spank his butt and tell him that kind of behavior will NOT be tolerated.

Download the video"be still and know" from FHU.COM(or .org?)That deals with rage and anger.

okay my mom had the same issues with my brother. get him counceling, it will help you out i promise you, my brother is now 21 and is haveing to go to a councelor, its better the sooner you help him,

Find someone outside the situation for him to talk to. It should help tremendously!!!
