[QUOTE="Fran, post: 470764, member: 3"] Malika, it was so hard for my difficult child to hold things together through the day(sometimes he didn't) that he came home to the safe place and melted down over anything. If I asked if he wanted something to drink was enough to set him off. My easy child was like this in a different way. He was "the perfect student" and so controlled that he came home and fell apart for about 40min every day. I was speechless as he was a pretty easy child compared to difficult child. He was under 5 but I find that being in a structured environment often leads to meltdown just to get out all the pent up emotions. I allowed some down time and just survived during the meltdown. Obviously, if our kids aren't up to the suggestions that you may want to find an alternate activity for him. Some free exercise to get some of that frustration out may work. Like a trampoline or jump rope or some other physical activity. Be cautious because with my difficult child the more tired he was the more hyper he got. It was a nightmare for years. Even as an adult if he doesn't get enough sleep he can become a little on the hyper side. [/QUOTE]
