DS (11) is usually a laid back lad but can occasionally become quite aggressive, shouting, threatening etc usually to peers.

Whilst I am sure that this is onset of hormones etc does anyone have any advice on techniques he can use to control his temper - especially when being wound up by his peers? I think he is getting into a viscious circle that he is easy to wind up so classmates do it more because it is entertaining and then when he blows he gets into trouble with teachers etc

How is he when he's calm? Can you talk to him about it or does he set off again?
