What Does Aggressive And Violent Behaviour In A Child Indicate?

I have a 5 year old grandson who has exhibited some alarming behavior. He has physically attacked his grand mother in a violent tantrum then when he calmed down he openly defied everything he was asked to do. Then went on to destroy the bathroom pulling donw the shower curtain, tearing down the curtain on the window the emptying the trash into his bath water

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would be best, if this recurs to take him to his doctor for assessment of his physical and mental state.
Anger can occur in anyone but it should not manifest in this way, especially in a child.

There may be an underlying cause that needs to be discovered.

I hope this helps
