Heather Shumaker, author of It’s OK Not to Share said. “Frustration and anger are normal emotions, and kids need a strong physical release for them,” But to safely redirect his feelings, have him:

1. Run around the living room or largest room in your home 50 (or any arbitrary number) of times; he’ll be in a contained space, the counting will distract him and he’ll get pooped out.
2. Go into a closed area (like the bathroom or a big closet or the basement) and yell at the top of his lungs. This gives him a safe place to vent without freaking out younger sibs (or the dog, or the neighbors).
3. Karate-chop a big piece of wrapping paper. It produces a satisfying ripping noise and makes him feel powerful. Go outside and make faces at you through the window.
4. Run around the house, and repeat. (After a few times, this is likely to dissolve into a giggling fit.)
5. Throw dirt at a tree. He’ll get messy, but he can’t hurt anything.
