Hi, some advice would be much appreciated on my grandsons behaviour. He's only seven and since his parents split up has become prone to extremely violent and destructive behaviour. His mother, my daughter is literally covered in bruises from trying to restrain him. His language is almost demonic, no holds barred. It's almost as if he's in some kind of trance. Then, when he calms down - which could be hours later, he reverts to his normal, compliant and childlike self, yet acts as if nothing has happened. No acknowledgement, apology or anything.
These fits can be triggered by the slightest frustration. He's generally very demanding and hyperactive, very intelligent but shows little compassion for anyone - at least not demonstrably. Social services are involved and have only made matters worse.
These are not normal tantrums. I have 5 smashed windows to prove it. How do we get him assessed. ? NHS are useless. Private sector is ridiculously expensive.
Can anyone suggest anything, please?
