Sometimes meds can cause behavior like this so you might want to talk to your

doctor. There's a book called " The Explosive Child " by Ross Greene that I highly

recommend.

I am glad, Bonnie, that you mentioned this book ( " The Explosive Child " ). I

is really great. The approach described in this book helped us survive

without medications for many years. It is great for dealing with easily

frustrated, inflexible and explosive children.
