Manage Angry and Aggressive Child

This is a common complaint from visitors to my office, the Autism Clinic and Family Counseling Center. See some tips and tricks that I have seen work with kids who have Autism, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and depression. If you are thinking about a child who has no diagnosis, and you don’t want one, good for you. Maybe if you can help head bad habits off early a diagnosis won’t be needed. The strategies presented to manage an angry and aggressive child will still be good for children from fairly normal to quite quirky.

What I have to offer you here is brief articles,  videos, forms, and templates to help with counseling, parenting, and behavior management strategies.

I also have a few books on this site, such as Counseling Tools for Kids in Schools.
