LOVE nannyde's advice!!!

I had a similar situation with a DCG. It wasn't violent behavior but just odd behavior. The mom would swear up and down this didn't happen at home. Well guess what? It does and then some! In fact her behavior was better here than at home I came to find out.

The mom doesn't care!! My guess would be he has very little supervision at home and is allowed to do whatever he wants. Tantrumming at 4 is a cry for help. He has been taught that this is the way to get what you want. If you don't get what you want step it up a notch to violence. He is desperately seeking attention IMO. It's hard to give advice based on your post but if the mom is in denial there is nothing you can do. The change needs to begin at home.
