My 4yr old son is sensitive..observant..inquisitive but aggressive. We try to handle his aggressiveness calmly but at times I do loose my cool as I am the one spending most time with him. On his cooling, I explain to him. He agrees ....but mostly its back to square one. I feel he is such cos he has not had kids around and gets jumbled up in excitement and expressing. But maybe I am biased being his mother. What troubles me more....gives me sleepless nights is when prople swuirm and mock us because of him. worst thing is that he catches their body language. just fyi, he enjoys and prefers older kids like 7years onwards and not his own or younger...sadly we do not get often. I think I will go into depression. thanks for reading this patiently.

Does he have any playmate or does he get the chance to interact with kids of his age most of the time? You may try exposing him to kids of his age so he can observe how they behave. You can show him examples of kids who are obedient to their parents and ask him about his thoughts on what he sees with other kids. Maybe you can gauge from there why he is acting extra 'aggressive' as you've mentioned. You may also check what kind of environment does he normally see and what kind of people surround him.
