[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 541722, member: 3493"] My difficult child used to rage and act out a lot more than he does now. Actually, he's 17 now and doesn't rage at all. However, when he was in 1st grade, I went to Disney with him and my next younger son (21 months younger), a friend and her D, who was in between them in age. My son decided to rage as we drove into the parking lot. I wound up spending 2 hours in the back seat of the car holding him as he raged, while my friend took the other 2 kids into the park. When he was that age, I very rarely went anywhere alone with him. On that same trip, he went into the pool at our hotel and refused to come out. I had to have the lifeguard retrieve him because when I tried to, he began pushing me down under the water. Being in the water calmed him in those days, so the next day, I let him start his swim earlier because he wanted a set amount of time in the pool. That time, he came out with no problem. As for your D, I read your story and I'm wondering if art therapy might help her because her speech and language issues might not be as prominent that way. [/QUOTE]
