[QUOTE="Star*, post: 211961, member: 4964"] She sounds so much like Dude at that age...I'm so sorry Toto - I remember a member here to had foster kids and ....she had an anger or time out room. It had pads on the walls and a door that couldn't be kicked through - and it was a great place for her fosters to go to. I had always thought if I had the resources I would have done that. When Dude raged like that? I handed him a ball bat and let him go out and hit trees and the dirt and fence posts...AND kept him in therapy so we could find out WHAT made him so angry and let him know it is OKAY and NORMAL to be angry - but HOW appropriately you handle your anger is the important thing. I wish it were as easy as waving a wand but I've been looking for the cure of 14 years and so far despite it all therapy, time and my understanding and how I handled the situation have been the key elements in his maturation. HUGE HUGS - who needs a door anyway? :frowny: [/QUOTE]
