Interesting information Bright Sparks. I sure hope it IS a phase and not a deeper issue . Not sure I would be willing to take on everything else that goes with it for so long. If I did not have young kids myself maybe but I don't just punch out at 5h00pm so...that's a factor. I'll have to wait it out and see. For sure however I need to chat with the parents more and find out what really happens at home regarding his temper because so far what I see differs from what I hear from the parents.
