[QUOTE="VidQueen, post: 193117, member: 5871"] I've apparently been kidding myself. I've posted a few times here saying that my difficult child's Rage incidents were going away. I'm pretty sure they've been getting worse over the past few weeks. I picked up my daughter (difficult child), I'll call her Tay, from Kindergarten. We then walked over to my easy child's daycare, I'll call her Ren. Tay wanted to read a book to Ren's class (we do that on occassion). I told her we couldn't do it today, but we could probably schedule that with Ren's teachers for tomorrow. The resistance began. She angrily ran away from me and into Ren's class, closing the door behind her. I could see Tay through the window in the door, surrounded by curious 3 year olds, blocking my way in. After a few minutes of trying to get in the door, Ren's teacher came over and tried to pry Tay away from the door, but to no avail. Another teacher came by and let me into the classroom through another door. Tay saw me come in and bolted out the first door. A teacher in the hallway caught her. Tay started screaming. It took myself and two other teachers 20 minutes to get her to calm down. After an emotional breakdown on my part, I just wanted to get out of there. I somehow coaxed Tay out of the building; still angry; still threatening everything and everyone with every step she took. We got into our van. The short drive home was horrible. Tay was kicking my seat and screaming at the top of her lungs; Ren was terrified and crying. Tay was saying things like, "Everybody is mean but me!" "Nobody is beautiful!" "I hate everyone!" When we got home I carried her, kicking and screaming to her room. I locked the door (we have the handles turned outward). I took a few minutes to sit with Ren and calm her down; she was very frightened. I went back into Tay's room and quietly sat on the floor. She just stared at me. Slowly, she got up off the floor and carefully, deliberately wrecked her room. Throwing books, dolls and shoes. Striped her bed bare. Knocked over her lamp. I just sat there sobbing. Eventually she stopped. Started crying. Came over and sat in my lap. We sat there on the floor, hugging and crying for at least five minutes. She asked me, "Mommy, why are you crying?" I told her, "Because I don't know how to help you". My husband and I had a long conversation over dinner (girls were playing with a neighbor). Tay's rages seem to have been getting worse over the past few weeks. She just started Kindergarten. Her swim classes have been on a break. Basically, her activity level has dropped quite a bit lately. I asked her if she played as much in Kindergarten as she did in preschool and she quickly answered, "No. We mostly sit at our tables." For those of you with similar behavior problems, has anyone mapped sugar intake and activity levels with rage incidents? I really need to get a handle on this while she's still young. Any help would be appreciated. Jen [/QUOTE]
