[QUOTE="bigbear11, post: 519258"] Thanks... that helps. And I didn't mean to imply that we didn't accept apology or talk softly with or hug a few times when it was over. But I must admit we don't feel like pretending that it never happened. But I love the advice and different perspectives. Can see that the trigger should really impact the reaction we have to it. I do know that TRex is truly sorry after a real rage... she says that she can "feel it coming" and sometimes can't stop it. I agree that those you can't discipline away. We are trying to have some consequence (losing TV/computer privilage) after one where she hurts us. That is NOT acceptable and feel like we have to do something. If she just loses it and screams but doesn't get violent with us or distructive, then we consider that a good example of "control" (trying to break the cycle of her lashing out physically) and we are very positive toward that. We are trying so hard to help her undersstand that the emotion of frustration or anger isn't bad but its the how you handle it that can be inappropriate. I haven't read the "what your explosive child is trying to tell you". I will pick that up. [/QUOTE]
