[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 434808, member: 2315"] I am sorry you had this day. I think you are wonderful to want to learn different stratigies. I see a few things that could be done differently. He was shouting at the girls so going back out to play with them should not have been an option. He was in the garage throwing things I would have sent the other girl home telling her I was sorry but it was not a good time and that she and your daughter could play another day. Afterall they were a part of his initial outburst and you do not know what they might have said to him when you were not there. Then I would have sent difficult child to his room or a chair to calm down ( I am assuming that a basket hold is not something you can do) and when he was calm made him help clean up the mess he had made. There would have been no t-ball and if you felt deprived and punished because you wanted to go then maybe call in a sitter for difficult child and go without him. His evening activities would have consisted of reading a book or someother quiet activity in his room. No electronics including TV and wii. Playing with cars or blocks or puzzles or wordfinds etc. are good calming activities. -RM [/QUOTE]
