A member asked:
What can we do to help my 7 year old grandson, he has meltdowns that destroy things and very negative outbursts that go on for hours?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Professional help: 7 year olds should not have such destructive meltdowns. There may be more to his problem that could explain that. How you and his parents discipline him, his health status, school performance, and many other factors could lead to this. His pediatrician can help coordinate the referrals to specialist before his behavior gets worse, and affect his future life.
