I have a seven year old nephew who reacts with very strong aggression and grief when faced with Dukkha. Example, when he doesn't get what he wants, he starts yelling and destroying things, or even tries to beat his mother. When I'm around I have quite mixed feelings, like compassion, anger, grief and fear about being helpless as he doesn't listen when we try to talk to him. What if he gets too big and strong to just hold him. Sometimes his mother even hits him out of feeling helpless and being overwhelmed by anger. How can I help here?
