How To Control Aggressive And Fierce Behavior?

My son is completely unruly and very disrespectful. He called me horrendous names today. Can you please suggest or recommend any quick tips to help me keep my cool and not react to the name calling. What are some appropriate responses? How can I keep from resonating on the bad behavior? What are some ways to practice self-care after situations such as the aforementioned? Thank you very much! ~ Heather Marie

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You did not mention your son's age. Therefore judging him correctly may not be possible for me. Adolescent son do create such situations at home and normally they are short tempered. That is because of their confusion. They experience role onflict, gender conflict, puberty period conflict, peer conflict and numerous other conflict. If your son is aged around 5 to 12, then the behavior could be attiributed to hyperactivity or temper tantrums. Both these needs psychologist intervention. Unerstanding your son is neessary here. Once you understand him you can't loose your contol.

Moereover, you are not the person who needs contol. It is him. Post a direct question to me with all his detail in this website and I shall prescribe some psychotherpy techniques to overcome temper tantrums.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
