[QUOTE="slsh, post: 410641, member: 8"] LOL - sorry, I'm just experiencing such deja vu here. My kid also *always* knew all the proper answers about how to manage his rage. Oh my, he was just a master at calm discussion with the professionals - and flipping over into Tasmanian Devil mode here at home and at school. I remember when we hit hospitalization 8 or so just *begging* psychiatrist to have staff "trigger" thank you (directing him to brush his teeth was guaranteed to provoke nuclear-level meltdowns) so that staff could really see firsthand what we were dealing with. psychiatrist chuckled, patted my hand, and assured me that they understood. I think it's a form of honeymooning when he's so calm, rational, and appropriate with the professionals. thank you would be transported to the local ER a spitting, biting, kicking, cursing, wild-eyed, out of control kid. Probably 90% of the time, the second he hit the ER, he'd be right as rain. And the vast majority of the time he spent in the hospital, he was totally in control and appropriate. Honeymooning. New environment, new people, no behaviors. *Incredibly* frustrating. I agree with JJJ that when you're dealing with assaultive/destructive behavior, calling 911 for transport of a mentally ill child to a hospital for evaluation may be your best bet in #1, keeping everyone safe, and #2 documenting and getting more witnesses to the level of raging that you're dealing with-. I'm betting that at his age, you're probably nearing your max in terms of being to safely contain him during a rage. The professionals you're working with have *got* to come up with a better crisis plan for you guys. Just because they're not witnessing the rages doesn't mean they're not happening - somehow, you need to either get them to join you in your reality or find a professional who will hear you and address this.
