There are lots of reasons that could be why your son is behaving in this way and it may be a combination of things. Whatever the cause it is the advice to manage it so that his anger can be 'nipped in the bud' and de-fused rather than escalating into his physical attacks on you that is important. As he gets older and stronger this is going to get more problematic. Have you spoken to a health visitor or school nurse? However, I would suggest you speak to your GP about a Paediatric referral for assessment of his behaviour. Good luck and best wishes.
