[QUOTE="HopeRemains, post: 559463, member: 14139"] This sounds a lot like my difficult child's tantrums. (Won't stay in room, kicks door/walls, follows you hitting or screaming...). difficult child is now 9 and I still don't have any clear answers for you, though I wish I did! I guess what I do is make sure I don't engage him (no talking, responding to his quest for an audience). This is hard when he is hitting or getting right in my face and screaming. I've taken easy child into the bedroom with me before or outside (uh, make sure you have your keys, difficult child locked me out once) to get away from it. We've made him do lots of extra chores to pay for things he's broken. I even had to call the police on him this year. That is now what I say when he is getting too violent- as much as it breaks my heart. "If this continues, I will have to call for some help.". It might insight screaming and crying, but he stops the violent behavior. Those are the things that we do during a rage, but he still rages on. The best thing to do is try to catch it before it turns into a rage if you can. Good luck to you! The ladies on this board are very helpful. Hopefully they have have some more useful advice than I!
