Very interesting suggestions from all.

It would be easy to blame formula milk or food that kids eat but let us not forget that parents are responsible for their kids behaviour 100% of the time.

A child is a computer chip that needs programming and if you program it wrong,you should expect bad behaviour. You have two issues here.

First is the issue of his behaviour after punishment and second is the reason for the behaviour. I believe you should seek a solution to both problems at the same time.

For the first,you should set clear standards on how one reacts in times of adversity. I say this because you might end up with a kid who destroys the railway one day for any excuse on this earth. I remember I used to be slapped very hard whenever I had a tuntrum. It was followed by a quick,'you should never behave like that in front of me.' The african in me never left and I believe that shock therapy is effective.

So when that is being solved,you should find out why the kid is getting so angry. Alpha has good points. That can take your whole life but who said parenting is easy. However,kids throwing tantrums should not be entertained. It is your duty to show your kids how anger is resolved. You might wish to stop arguing with your spouce infront of your kids.

Oh,you have a younger child? That could be where the problem lies. How well did you prepare the kid for the arrival of the new baby? Remember he was used to getting all the attention before the new baby. Are you and your wife now treating him as a 'grown'up and giving all the attention to the little child? He may be feeling left out or displaced and hence the anger in him for not getting enough attention and doesnt know how to express it. Infact,the people who come to see the baby make it worse but gushing how cute the baby is,how beautiful/handsome,you know all that baby talk... and for him??? nothing. however,you can help him to deal with the anger by showing him more love,creating time just for him especially when baby sleeps,getting him to help with the baby - like wiping him etc but yes,he will need the same attention he used to get before the baby arrived.

check out this - you can google for more.... to get differnt perspectives of where the kid may be coming from.

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

@Wendz,

You read my mind.......and am damn certain Manmbao will confirm that this behaviour started roughly a year ago.Kids are that sensitive and the person with the key to this problem is dad.......spend more time with the young boy,show him love,take him out in the absence of mother and the young one,show him how to appreciate the newborn and generally be playful...........Usually this disappears as soon as the two starts engaging in play and kid talk....
