Psychology / behavior of children

English term or phrase: act out

Please give your comments on the meaning of the following:

He (a boy of ten) started recently to act out on occasion. The child gets frustrated and learns to cope with his frustration.

I find it difficult to understand the expression "act out". Who could be so kind as to explain the meaning in English or translate it into Russian. This expression was used in the home visit report on the living and upbringing conditions of an adopted child in a new family.

I will be thankful for help.

Explanation:
Acting out is defined as the release of out-of-control aggressive or sexual impulses in order to gain relief from tension or anxiety . Such impulses often result in antisocial or delinquent behaviors. The term is also sometimes used in regard to a psychotherapeutic release of repressed feelings, as occurs in psychodrama.
