How do you handle an explosive angry 11 year old? He has no self confidence and is therefore always thinking of himself first. When things don't go his way he's explosive, angry, chutzpahdig, etc. But when he's happy he could be SO GOOD.
How do I proceed? I live in Lakewood.
Thanks.

Is there a certain time of day/ day of week that he gets explosive? Is it possible that he is being triggered by being tired, hungry, etc? Not that it's an excuse, but at least that knowledge can help you help him.

If he is acting angry/explosive I would have him be in his room until he can communicate what is bothering him in a reasonable way. When he is able to speak reasonably make sure to listen to his whole laundry list of complaints so he feels listened to.

The book the explosive child helped me a lot. It really pointed out obvious triggers that I enver got.

An angry person, is a hurt person.
I only know of Faigie Russ Flatbush- she has helped people with anger issues. She is a big believer in being assertive as to what you need.
It maybe that there is a personality clash involved. It can be an anxiety issue too. You have to go to the root of the problem to solve it.

Read the Explosive Child and work on one unsolved problem at a time.
