[QUOTE="Pookybear66, post: 198049, member: 5957"] Liilyth, Welcome first of all! Second, I agree with the things others have said. Third, I would get the book-The Explosive Child. It may or may not help (I just started reading it myself) but it basically starts out saying that these kids are just reacting to their frustration levels and not doing violent things on purpose. Therefore, if they are doing them on purpose, then punishing them for the things they do is counterproductive because it only makes them more frustrated. I think that the martial arts may provide a safe outlet for the agression but I don't know your kid personally so thats your call. I agree he needs extra supervision when playing to ward off the possibility of harming another child. Do you know what caused him to react this way? Is he capable of discussing things with you to work out a consequence together? I do agree that going backwards and removing consequences you've already put in place seems like NOT the right thing to do. However, if they won't work in the long run then whats the difference. Go to the carnival. Try to have a fun day. Keep an eye out for anything that will "set him off" and leave if there is any problem. Review what made the day good or bad and build on that for the next time. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
