[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 154632, member: 3444"] When my difficult child 2 was unstable and raging like that (last summer) I had him just go outside and go for a walk down our hill and back up (he was 10 then, so old enough to be able to do that, and we're in a secluded cul-de-sac neighborhood up on a hill with nowhere for him to go). We discussed this at length ahead of time and I gave him standing permission to just leave the house and take a walk whenever he started to feel like things were getting out of control. Over spring break this year, husband went out and bought a punching bag to hang in the yard as another outlet for difficult child 2. We're really trying to get him to take the initiative to remove himself from a situation before it escalates, and for the most part, it just takes a simple cue from one of us for him to do it when he needs to (of course, I think a lot of that has to do with the medications actually working now).
