Hello there. I have read through your question and understand your concern. It seems your child is suffering from oppositional attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is a psychological disorder and require s proper assessment by a psychologist. You have to maintain patience and understanding as too much aggressive behaviour on your part will only push him further. Talk to him and try to understand if he is facing any emotional turmoil. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
