[QUOTE="brendan, post: 390566"] Bunny, I think you have received excellent advice so far. Just wanted to give you some (((Hugs))) and things that have worked for me. Have you ever tried "Bear hugs"? I have done this with both my sons when they have tantrums. (Yes, even easy child tantrums once in awhile!) They usually fight to get out of the bear hug, but then calm down and cry. You put him on your lap with his back facing you and hold his arms and legs back with your arms and legs and just say "Calm down" This has saved many remotes, toys, pictures from being broken at our house!!!! Also, he sounds like he might need something for his compulsive behaviors along with his anxiety medication. Concerta, Ritalin? This really seemed to calm my difficult child down so he could focus and listen to me and other people instead of just going bonkers. Keep us updated. Also, I personally never give punishments that long, so kudos to your difficult child and you for actually sticking to it. Mine at the most will be for one day. Then they follow me around saying, "I'm bored...I'm bored" and drive me nuts!! LOL Michelle [/QUOTE]
