[QUOTE="Star*, post: 147410, member: 4964"] OMG you are TOO perfect !!!! A BUCKEY that is a MOOSE??? (We love our Buckeyes and we LOVE moose here too) - Totoro even has them in her back yard. I enjoy eating moose poop - now that you are thoroughly shocked I should tell you it's candy. It just looks comely! Welcome! Your son needs a heavy bag - they work wonders. He also needs some help learning how to vent his anger. At this point - he's using self-taught coping skills - hence stabbing the 'everything'. If he never learns that there are alternatives - he's going to keep doing what he does to relieve the stress and pain. He's not doing it because he wants to - he's doing it because it's all he knows to do at his age. There are alternatives!!!! They take time to learn. He needs to be taught that it's okay to be angry, he just needs to express that anger in an appropriate manner, AND he just may not need to hear those words from YOU. My son has HUGE anger management problems - he has been given several suggestions by therapists and counselors of "alternative" to stabbing - when he is /was angry. We also provided him with things to hit when he was younger - like........ Baseballs trees the ground sand pile worked the best - That was given while we worked on the appropriate ways to express anger. Eventually he has matured (some) and learned to breathe go to a space in his head walk off stress his body physically to the point of nearly passing out - works with high anxiety cases and isn't hard to learn at all - but takes a bit of getting used to watching. I use it when I think I want to choke him. lol (see it has a bonus) Hang around here - We're a pretty neat group Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
