So, last week at preschool, my son started throwing what the teachers call an anger tantrum. The teacher asked him to stop chewing on a toy, and when he wouldn't quit, took the toy away. I got a call at work, and in the background, I could here my son throwing a huge screaming fit. The teacher told me I needed to come right away. I left work, only to get to preschool, and have my son playing nicely. This has happen three times now. The second time, Jake went to school and took him aside, and talked to him. We didn't want him to think we would take him home everytime he threw a fit. He then did it again 5 minutes before Jake can to pick him up the other day.
The teachers keep asking what could be causing him to behave this way. They asked if something was going on at home. I can't think of anything that has changed recently, but I get the idea that if he doesn't stop it soon, they will not want him to come back. I guess in these "rages" as they call them, he tends to lash out, and try to hurt whoever is talking to him. I am at a loss with what to do. We have tried punishing him, talking to him, time outs, taking toys away.... What is next?

Aww..Amy I feel for you..Matthew did the same thing..we would hold him as tight as we could ( like a baby)during a fit...we would hold him till he sobbed..rocking him back & Forth and telling him we loved him quietly..He owuld have tears, snot and red face...but it worked after 2 weeks...we had to learn to break his will by approaching it very calmy..not in anger or fustration...I hope this helps..I had many friends do this and it works..we have done it with Olivia during a big melt down..Doctor told me to try it..I brought Matthew in thinking he needed medication or had ADHD...he didn't..he had a had time with feelings..resulting in anger..
