Brief Answer:
Suggestions on short temper in kid
Detailed Answer:
Hi... Inappropriate anger may happen when kids are tired, hungry, or uncomfortable; or because they can't get something (for example, an object or a parent) to do what they want. Learning to deal with frustration is a skill that children gain over time.
This is what you can do to avoid or prevent expression of inappropriate anger -
1. Give plenty of positive attention
2. Try to give your son some control over little things
3. Keep off-limits objects out of sight and out of reach
4. Distract your child
5. Help him learn new skills and succeed
6. Consider the request carefully when your child wants something
7. Know your child's limits
