Teenage moods

NAS78049

Hi there I’m new to this group. We are struggling with our 13 year old sons anger. Anyone out there who can give advice please? Thank you

  • Anxiety causes anger and this becomes heightened with teenagers. For my son demands can increase anxiety, as can change. Trying to give options with demands or making them less direct can help. If he is in year 9 he may have decisions regarding options adding to anxiety. 

    Are there specific things which increase the anger?

    Does he go out with friends or spend most of his time at home?
