[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 390845, member: 7083"] Your difficult child is at that age where he is starting to develop insight - one of the executive functions that comes along about that age - which may explain why he's able to articulate it now. I know my daughter is not in control when she rages or meltdowns. I don't even try to reason with her because there is no rational thought (both off and on medications). If she's melting down, I will rub her back but I don't generally talk. If she is raging, she gets it out - usually in her room, on her own - and then she comes out to talk when she has calmed down. Trying to have any kind of conversation during the event is pointless and often makes it worse. I also don't hold her accountable for things said in that state as she really has no control. My goal is to get her to where she doesn't have the rages and/or meltdowns, or at least has more control over them. [/QUOTE]
