My 7 yo grandson is aggressive, has a bad temper, argumentative. not much fun. his mom said his nursery was decorated in red. a friend said that red in an infants room would cause aggressive behavior. is this true? if so, what help can we get?

I would call the red issue a myth. I would also encourage you to get the kid & his family into family therapy. If you do not get him settled into a normal frame of mind/reactions by age 8 you can plan on him either being jailed or institutionalized by his adulthood if not sooner.

If your grandson has a behavioral problem, it needs to be addressed by the parents. Good behavior should be rewarded and boundary set on bad behavior. Child learns behavior either from a person around him or watching it on an electronic device. Exposure to well behaved characters & clean speech around, explaining in soft voice instead of yelling will make a difference. Good luck. Hope it helps.

If the child is 7 years past infancy, it would be very hard to pronounce his behavior due to the color of his room as an infant. Were that true, we would all paint our kids' rooms dove grey. A child with negative behaviors can benefit from a behavioral approach - I agree with family therapy or similar counseling to help the parents redirect their child's energies in a positive way,.
