Explosive anger in teen boy

Assuming it is normal guy hormones – intense physical activity. My son would tell me he was so angry and had no idea why. My husband admitted to having the same experience as a teenager. Physical activity helped. Regularly like a sport or martial arts, but also something he can do spur of the moment to diffuse his anger. Running around the block, a punching bag, some way to really use his body and release steam. We used to have a pile of old bricks and stone in the yard destined for disposal and my son would just go outside and smash bricks. Maybe chat with him, when he is not angry, and explain you understand that he has this uncontrollable anger he is feeling but his actions are not acceptable. Help him understand it is hormonal and give him some suggestions for when he feels it welling up.  My husband is now the kindest gentlest man you could ever meet, you cant make him angry if you try. And my son is getting there.

Good luck.

That is a challenge. Have you considered something in his diet may trigger it? My oldest used to get violent when he had artificial sweetener. Luckily we discovered it when he was 6 and I was still stronger than him! Or maybe counseling? Your church could possibly have a professional counseling referral. Praying you find an answer and a solution.

I highly recommend The Total Transformation Program – I got mine from ebay for a very reasonable price (CDs and workbook).  Also, if your son has tics, then his anger could be related to impulse control.  The GAPS diet made almost immediate, night and day differences both physically and behaviorally.
