"We've been working with Connor's anger issues lately. He's still been throwing a lot of fits and beating up on his little brother, Paul. In fact, the other day he pushed him down the stairs. Frustrating, really. When Paul got back up his back was bleeding; I was pretty angry . I showed Connor and asked him, 'Do you like the way this makes you feel? Do you enjoy causing your brother pain?'. He looked at me for a second, contemplating*, and replied, 'No, it makes me feel like a loser'."
*The mother clarified: "He contemplated to the best of his ability as a six year old"
