[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 452048"] Is the psychiatrist the counselor recommended a CHILD psychiatrist? Is the counselor a licensed psychologist? Has he been diagnosed by anyone with anything? Is there any mental health issues on either side of the family tree? Can you pinpoint what the rages are in response to? I agree with keista. The WHY is very important in helping to deal with them. For some kids, "normal" punishments do't work with our kids. Many of us have had to get creative but without knowing why they are acting the way they are, that can't be done. Try documenting as many details as you can about everything that was done and said BEFORE the meltdown started. See if you can find a pattern. Also, call around for a child psychiatrist or better yet a neuropsychiatrist/neuropsychologist. You need to know what is going on if you're going to help him at all. I also agree with the 911 suggestion. If he is physically harming himself or others, you need to call 911.
