[QUOTE="Christy, post: 159321, member: 225"] My son has destructive rages as well. He will hit, kick, and destroy everything in his path during an episode. After trashing his room a few times, we got smart and removed everything but the mattress, bedding, pillow, and a stuffed animal. This is all he needs for sleeping and there is nothing to destroy. We took off the door to the room and the closet. As first, getting him to his room during a tantrum was the hard part but he is becoming accustomed to it and tends to run upstairs when he gets upset. I stand in the doorway until I feel he is safe and then let him be alone. If he is enraged, he will throw his mattress around the room or throw himself down on it. Sometimes he punches or kicks the walls. After a few times I tell him that damage isn't tolerated and I'll restrain him if he continues. He likes to baricade himself in the closet blocking the door with his mattress. It's remakable how quickly he calms down when there is little fuel around to throw on his fire! I hope you gets some relief soon from all the rage. Take Care, Christy [/QUOTE]
