[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 559102"] You've gotten some good ideas. I REALLY recommend you try to pinpoint WHY she's acting that way. A couple helpful books you might want to invest in are What Your Explosive Child Is Trying To Tell You as well as The Explosive Child. Reading these two books gave ME a change in MY thinking. Once I was able to think outside the box, it was a tremendous help. She won't go so far as to hurt herself by kicking the door and if she does, it will be once and she won't do it again. Many people here have said they emptied their room of everything except the bed. Dressers can be emptied and even tipped on top of themselves so that goes too. I haven't done that myself but then again, there was no way I would have been able to get difficult child 1 up the stairs to his room in the first place, not to mention that he shares a room with his brother. I have used the restraint TerryJ2 described. It was restraining difficult child 1 but it also gave him deep pressure (sensory) and I could calmly whisper in his ear that I loved him over and over. When he was done, he would turn around on my lap and want me to just hold him while he cried. Who diagnosed her with ADHD? Is she on any medications? Are the rages new? Has she ever had a thorough evaluation by a Child Psychiatrist, PhD level psychologist, or neuropsychologist? [/QUOTE]
