[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 282613, member: 84"] Heather Only thing I know to tell you : Don't make it all better when his moods switch. He's a grown up (like it or not). He has got to learn his actions cause reactions in other people, and those same people are not going to "get over it" just because he flipped a switch and is done blowing up at people. This was a HUGE deal with Nichole. And the kid drove me crazy with it. But once I finally got everyone on board with "treat her as you would a stranger treating you the same way"........she began to discover she didn't like that other people couldn't just flip a switch and it all be better. It was the only way I could think of to get her to stop taking her anger out on other people. I went for days not speaking to the child. Why? Because that is the way I'd treat a person who can do nothing but snarl at me all day long. Once the family got onboard she found out you can't rip someone a new one then expect them to do something for you 10 mins or even a couple of days later. Doesn't wash. Tough lesson for her to learn, and she made us teach her the hard way. easy child is POed as all get out because he's reaping the concequences of his actions during the school year. He's decided he's going to make everyone else as miserable as he is and he's taking that anger out on you. Now what would you do if this was a stranger treating you this way? This was not a fun thing to go thru with Nichole. As I recall it lasted about 2-3 yrs. Trust me, you do not want it to last that long. ugh!! (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
