[QUOTE="SRL, post: 79173, member: 701"] As strange as this sounds to someone new here, this is very, very normal behavior for many of our difficult child kids. Their tolerance level for stressors in their lives is very low and their need to express anger, frustration, disappointment is often very high. The fact that he knows where his frustration is coming from and is directing his anger at the appropriate stressor, and is expressing it verbally is actually a positive sign. Contrast this to a child being picked up from school loaded up with the stress of the school day and immediately hitting his sister and exploding in an hour long meltdown without having any clue as to why he's doing it. Sometimes the best thing to do when they are going off on their shoes, walls, etc. is to give them some quiet understanding. Something like "I'm sorry your shoes are giving you so much trouble right now. Let me know if you decide you want some help with those." [/QUOTE]
