[QUOTE="Pookybear66, post: 201162, member: 5957"] Woofens-I am glad to hear you are getting some help with this. I'm not really sure if anything I 'll say hear will make a difference in your treatment of your specific situation but know that I am here to support you nonetheless. My son is 8 1/2. He has not had neuropsychologist exam and does not have any diagnosis other than Learning Disability (LD)-reading/writing/spelling problem. However, because of the way his brain works he will go into a tantrum over the littlest things sometimes. He especially doesn't like to be seemingly ignored or misunderstood. That is if you don't understand what he is talking about or can't quite devote your full attention to him (because you are reading a message board-haha) then he will get angry. He commonly pinches easy child when she doesn't listen to him and he gets angry. Then if I try timeout he gets even more upset and screams that no one ever listens to him. He will throw things if sent to his room and does not like to be held down when he is out of control. Lately, I have not experienced any of these severe reactions. I'm not sure if it's me or him or both. I have picked up a wisely recommended from here book entitled The Explosive Child. It basically says that your child can not control their reactions when their brain gets in "vapor lock". These kids have low frustration tolerance (LFT) and can not handle anything that does not go their way and need to be handled carefully until they learn how to work with their brain and calm themselves down and work on some compromise. I have been working on the techniques of getting him to calm down and learning to compromise. You know your child best and he may not be anything like mine, but you may want something to take the edge off the next 10 days and this book might help. P.S. I'm in PA so I am not that far away. I will open up my private mail so if you want to email me you are welcome to. [/QUOTE]
