[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 482494, member: 3419"] Malika, do you think it was the so-called spontaneity of not being able to skate home in the dark that set him off, or just the word "no"? Or both? I agree with-the others, that you will notice patterns, eventually. In regard to when it stops ... in my case, the outbursts tapered off around age 8, in regard to running errands at the last minute. In regard to saying "no," the outbursts continue. Our sons do not seem to be that much alike, but all I can give you is my experience. by the way, I did try an experiment one time, where I told difficult child 1st thing in the a.m. that I was going to go through the day and say "no" to everything he wanted, except for one, and that it would be much later in the day. I refused to tell him what it was. Just to see how he would react. He did not explode as much, because he was curious and waiting for that one "yes." FWIW. [/QUOTE]
