[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 596960, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]I agree with the others that usually these trantrums/rages lessen over time. Some of this is attributed to maturity - the ability to use words to describe emotions like disappointment and frustration - although this is something that needs to fostered and taught to our difficult children. Some of the lessening can also be attributed to our difficult children learning how to deal with their struggles and live with their challenges - also something that needs to be taught. Much of the lessening as they age can also be attributed to, at least in my difficult child's case, his need to be seen "as just one of the rest" at school. He didn't want to be defined by his behaviors, he didn't want the other students to see that he was "different" in that way (although he is very different from his classmates). In our case, medication, talk therapy, good Special Education services at school, and behavior modification for both parent and difficult child at home contributed to his ability to leave the physical reaction to disappointment and frustration behind.
