I am concerned about my kids because they get so angry, sometimes my grandaughter who lives with me, will not argue at someone at school instead she will hit someone if they wind her up. My son broke my big mirror tonight, and chucked stuff over my floor, i ahve had enough, how do i stop them getting so angry. My son tonight said he did not like me and no one liked me, that really hurt, i just want them to be happy and stop this. i have to be with olivia at school everday because she punches people, the teacher said she has hit half the class what am i to do.

Yowie! You need to have a firm hand on those kids. Children get away with whatever they can for as long as you let them. I say, strip the rooms of everything but furniture and basic clothes. No CD, TV, games, nothing. They stay there except when they are at school. I'd take every priviledge away and let them earn them back, one by one. You never said how old they are, but I find as a parent of little ones and a teacher of older kids that firmness and consistency rules. They crave boundaries. Draw the line in the sand and stand firm. They'll only hate you for a while. That means you are doing it right. Good luck!

see a specialist - its okay for parents replying to you who have 'normal misbehaving' children, to suggest to you that ie. you are the parent and do proper discipline procedures etc etc but it may be a disorder like oppositional defiant disorder, or adhd and therefore standard discipline does not work but needs specialist intervention on how to deal with these children. (from own experience) Aggression is one of the hardest to deal with. Your school should have had a educational psychologist involved by now and unfortunately medication (and there are ones which curb aggression in children) may be an option to you for a period of time to install behavioural changes. Also anger management classes for children may help.

If you guys are having family problems that could be a reason. Kids tend to be aggressive when they are mad or worried about something important to them. Maybe you should talk to a professional about this, they can help for sure.

perhaps your grand daughter needs attention and the way she usually gets the attention is by being horrible and naughty.
To a child who seeks attention ANY attention is welcome.
Try to give her more attention by including her in more things like cake making reading etc.
She doesn't need a psychiatrist she needs good old fashioned love and as her grand mother i bet she wants it from you.
Good luck and hopefully she will realise what you do for her and will start being the girl she always can be..

Don't rely on Yahoo answers for this one. You need to get professional help such as a school psychiatrist to see whats making them so angry.

i think the best thing to do is sit down and have a chat and listen to them just tell them what they r doing is wrong but don't shout at them just speak and spend some time alone with 1 at a time or if they don't listen just put them to bed without shouting that should work

this is a no brainer, they need to seek professional help, and/or a psychologist.
