We have heard your burden for your grandson and we join with you in bringing him before the Lord, asking for a change of heart and attitude. It grieves us that when he becomes angry he hits and throws things, and we understand your concern for his safety and for those around him. We want to stand with you in prayer and in biblical counsel.
The Bible takes anger seriously and calls us to self control. We are told, Be angry, and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath Eph 4:26, and A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control Prov 29:11. We are also taught, Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God James 1:19-20. Hitting his own body or the body of another and throwing things in anger is not pleasing to God and can cause real harm. The body is created by God and we are to honor Him with it, and love for neighbor means we do not harm others in our anger. This behavior must be lovingly corrected and not excused, even while we show patience and compassion for a child who is learning to manage strong emotions.
Scripture places the primary responsibility for training a child upon parents, with grandparents offering support and wisdom. We are told, Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it Prov 22:6, and Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, the rod of discipline drives it far from him Prov 22:15. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord Eph 6:4. This means consistent, loving discipline that teaches rather than shames, calm instruction when he is not angry about how to handle anger in a godly way, clear boundaries and consequences delivered in love, and modeling self control ourselves. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control Gal 5:22-23, and God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Tim 1:7. We can ask God to cultivate that fruit in him and to give you wisdom, for If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him James 1:5. Practically we encourage you to work together with his parents if possible, to set a calm and consistent response to his anger, to teach him words to use instead of hitting or throwing, to pray with him and for him daily, and to praise him when he chooses self control, trusting that God can give him a new heart as He promises, I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you Ezek 36:26.
We also noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to lovingly share that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God and find salvation. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6, and There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved Rom 10:9. It is in His name that we pray with confidence, and we want to make sure you know the hope we have in Him.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and we lift up this precious grandson to You. Lord, You know his heart and his struggles with anger. We ask You to soften his heart, to calm his spirit, and to teach him self control. Deliver him from the impulse to hit and to throw things, and help him to learn to express his feelings with words and with respect for others and for his own body. Fill him with Your peace and with the fruit of Your Spirit. We pray for his grandparents and parents, grant them wisdom, patience, unity and strength to train him in Your discipline and instruction with love and consistency and without provoking him to more anger. Give them words of grace and firm boundaries, and let their home reflect Your love. We pray that this family would know Jesus more deeply and trust in His power to transform hearts. We ask all of this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to continue steadfast in prayer, to speak truth in love to him, and to trust that God is able to work change over time as you faithfully teach and correct him. We are praying with you that the Lord will bring peace to his heart and to your home.

We are so concerned to hear about what you are facing with your grandson, and we are thankful you reached out.
If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services right now. For free, confidential support, find a helpline in your country (about 130 countries) at findahelpline.com You are not alone; trained people are ready to help right now.
It is distressing to see a child you love hurt his own body and throw things when he is angry. We hear how much you care for him and want to see his attitude change, and also how heavy and frightening these moments must feel for you and your family.
When anger comes out in hitting or throwing, it helps to have a clear safety plan. It can be good to talk together as family when everyone is calm about how to keep everyone safe, and to reach out soon to a trusted pastor and to his doctor or a counselor for guidance. They can walk with you in person, help you understand what may be driving the anger, and help you set loving, firm boundaries. If anyone is being hurt, please get help right away alongside prayer, not instead of it.
We are praying with you for wisdom, protection, and peace in your home.
Father, in Jesus name we lift this dear grandson and grandparent to You. Bring safety to their home, calm to his heart when anger rises, and wisdom to the adults caring for him. Guide them to the right help and surround this family with Your care and direction. Amen.

Beloved of All
Your request concerning your grandson has been brought before the Lord with sincere care, and we join you in seeking His mercy and help for this dear child.
To see a little one overcome with anger so that he strikes his own body and casts about whatever his hands find is a heavy burden for a loving heart to bear. Yet we know that our God is the God of all wisdom and all power to keep and to change the heart. As it is written, unto the only wise God our Savior be glory, for He is able to keep us from falling. What great wisdom is needed in a parent and grandparent to keep a child from evil, and far greater wisdom belongs to the Lord who can work within the child himself.
We pray for him now. O Lord our God, look in compassion upon this child. Thou didst form him and Thou knowest his frame. Give him a calm and weaned spirit, as a weaned child that no longer frets but is content upon its mother's breast. Subdue the storm of anger within him and teach him the way of self control which is the fruit of Thy Spirit. Grant that he may learn to rule his own spirit, which is better than to take a city. Have mercy upon him and make him as the holy Child Jesus in gentleness and humbleness, and as young Samuel who early learned to say, Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth. For without Thee we can do nothing, and every grain of strength must come from Thy hand. Amen.
For your own encouragement and guidance, consider these things before the Lord.
First, continue in earnest prayer and in teaching by example. A child must be taught to bring his passions to God in prayer rather than to vent them with his hands. As Samuel was blessed with a godly mother who prayed for him and instructed him, so your prayers and your steady, loving instruction are a means of grace. Teach him simple words to use when anger rises, that he may cry to God for help instead of striking or throwing.
Second, exercise patient and consistent correction in love. The Scripture teaches us to set Caution and Self examination at the helm, and this is true for the training of children as well. He must be gently and firmly shown that to injure his own body or to throw things in wrath is wrong, and be led to understand the reason. Let correction be calm, never in anger, and always followed by assurance of love and forgiveness. A child learns humbleness and self restraint not by harshness, but by seeing it lived and by being lovingly restrained.
Third, search your own hearts and keep your own vineyard while you keep his. The Lord which searches the heart and tries the reins will help you to examine your home and your ways before Him. Ask Him to show you what may stir or strengthen this anger, whether it be weariness, unmet needs, imitation of others, or lack of rest, and ask for wisdom to order his days with peace, clear boundaries, and quiet instruction in the Word.
Do not grow weary in this work. The Lord who makes the soul as a weaned child, content and still, is able to quiet this little soul also. He who said, Without Me ye can do nothing, will give you daily strength as you look to Him. Bring the child often to Jesus in prayer, speak to him of the Savior who was meek and lowly in heart, and trust that God who hears the prayer of a little child will in His time bring forth calmness and gentleness in him.
We will continue to pray that the Lord will change his attitude, give him a soft and obedient heart, and grant you wisdom, patience, and peace as you care for him.
