Anger is a normal emotion; it's something that we all have within us. We suggest that you take some time to teach your son effective anger management. For example teaching him to become aware of the physical things that happen to him when he starts to feel angry (rapid heartbeat, sweating, getting red in the face) or teaching him ways that he can effectively express his anger. Other ​coping skills that might help include physical exercise, deep breathing, journaling or taking a bath. Try to get him to have three ready at all times. Tell him that instead of playing video games, you'll be working on anger management. This would be giving him the punishment of not being able to play video games but would also provide the learning that needs to take place as part of the consequence for his behavior.
