[QUOTE="Steely, post: 493463, member: 3301"] Matt would rage over absolutely anything that sat wrong with him at any random moment. I often felt very confident he had seizures, because it would happen over the smallest, most random things - and his reactions were epic. I had him tested every which way for seizures and the tests all came back negatively - but even psychiatrist could see something was mis-firing in his brain. To tear the house apart over hey difficult child, could you find something to pick up, was very common for him. That was kind of what I was talking about earlier in this thread though - consequences stopped being effective in any way at this point in his life. Like you, I could take everything away possible - and it did nothing, zero, zip except make him even more mad, and send him even deeper into a negative spin. Is she small enough to do a therapeutic hold? If you do it correctly you can even do it on a kid that is the same size as you. I remember one night when Matt was 12 I had to hold him that way for 2 hours, because every time I let him go he would start to destroy the house. Bad, bad memory. HUGS -- and I hope you manage to have a Happy Birthday. :) [/QUOTE]
