[QUOTE="SRL, post: 93717, member: 701"] One of our best techniques was to take him away from home, especially if he was raging specificially at someone. One parent would drop everything and get him to the car--then we'd drive around or do something like visit Toy's 'R Us or the bookstore cafe. Often we'd call back home when he'd calmed down so the other parent could have the other kids clear (in their room or elsewhere) to prevent a relapse when we'd returned. We used this a lot, often to preempt a meltdown that was about to occur. [/QUOTE]
